Louisiana Voice

Someone told me back in 2015 that when Bobby Jindal left office, I’d have nothing to write about.

Time and events have certainly disproven that assumption.

Not even the departure of Mike Edmonson could bring a halt to stories about the sorry state of the Louisiana State Police, particularly in Troop F where apparently it is a major offense to drive while black.

The political climate in Louisiana is certainly fertile soil for investigative reporting and LouisianaVoice has endeavored to maintain the hectic pace of keeping up with events which seems to outpace any effort to stay ahead of the news cycle.

LouisianaVoice was recently recognized as one of the TOP 15 BLOGS in Louisiana (though I must question the omission of both Bayou Brief – the premier political blog as far as I am concerned – and The Lens). Still, I am both honored and humbled to be included in that list.

But doing this takes time and money. That is why I come hat in hand twice a year – in April and September – to ask that you contribute what you feel you can afford in order to support investigative journalism and your right to know what’s going on in your state.

Thomas Jefferson said that given the choice of government without a free press or free press without a government, he would not hesitate to choose the latter. So, please, either click on the yellow DONATE button to the right of this post to give by credit card or mail your check to:
