Ep. 90: Session Postmortem (1979 vs. 2026)
Adam Knapp and Barry Erwin of Better Louisiana help guide this episode of the LaPolitics Report Podcast from the heyday of hayride politics in the late 1970s to today's unpredictable landscape. How has the culture of the Capitol changed? Why was this year's legislative gathering the "session that went sideways?" Knapp and Erwin discuss what was (and wasn't) accomplished during the spring regular session, from workforce development to budget issues. You'll also learn how the annual LegisGator event in Lake Charles is being transformed into a three-day affair that some folks are already calling a "mini-Washington Mardi Gras." Plus, this episode kicks off with an extended look back at the conclusion of the 1979 regular session, with state representatives parodying Kenny Rogers, Edgar Allen Poe and Uncle Earl Long.
