In a news conference after the veto vote Gov. Edwards said, this was not our finest day and speaks so poorly of us collectively. In a New Orleans Advocate of 3/31/22 staff writers Tyler Bridges, Sam Karlin and Blake Paterson wrote that the veto override was a "stinging defeat" for the Governor. That statement reflects the usual BS and hype the media feeds the voting public.
The Governor actually did his job and duty. It was a "stinging defeat" for racial justice in congressional districts and quickly prompted a federal suit by a coalition of civil rights groups who claim the newly drawn districts dilute the voting power of black residences. So now the decision on the matter will be made by a court of law which will be a legal decision and not a political decision.
The media has taken it upon themselves to try and define people for the purpose of influence and has contributed greatly to division. It's not a defeat when a Governor stands for something and acts. That is called leadership and courage. And Louisiana and its people have done well on Governor Edwards' watch because of his political decisions.
