/ptg/ voting guide for 2025 March 29, Louisiana: 1. Special Courts: Yes. This will improve Louisiana by allowing specialized courts for special issues, as well as improve Louisiana's enforcement of a serious problem in the state: Out-of-state lawyers bringing out-of-state laws from Texas and Mississippi into courtrooms. Yes, this is a serious issue for Louisiana, and that's why they need a special system of courts to crack down on bad out-of-state lawyers doing ridiculous stuff in Louisiana's courts. Judges aren't normally allowed to intervene when lawyers mess up badly. As a result, Louisiana is now frequently suffering from foolish lawyers from Texas and Mississippi coming in and litigating whole cases based on out of state law using wills, contracts, and other documents that aren't even valid in the State of Louisiana in the first place to argue. This becomes an issue because, afterward, the losing client might find out Louisiana law wasn't used, and then there's another lawsuit. This necessitates a system of disbarment to strip non-Louisiana lawyers of the privilege of practicing law in Louisiana for sheer incompetence like this, especially because in Louisiana, the inheritance money is often already spent or the person is already dead by the time things get resolved because some lawyer thought it was a good idea to use a fake will using Texas law and without a certified Louisiana state notary in a Louisiana courtroom and the other lawyer made a gentlemanly unwritten agreement to use out of state law for some reason. 2. Trying Juveniles As Adults: Yes. This improves flexibility of the juvenile legal system and allows the Legislature to fine-tune legislation rather than having it specified in the Constitution. 3. State Taxation Policy: Yes. These are tax cuts planned by Governor Landry. 4. Earliest Election Dates: Yes. This helps to fill vacancies more quickly. May 6 Ohio Infrastructure Bonds Referendum: Tentative no. It seems they might have something good in mind, but overall I'll just say no since I'm against most bonds. If they have any proposals that people actually want, we'll see a yes vote.
