Is having a capitol building painted red a good thing for Louisiana? Well obviously, if you

are not a republican, then the obvious answer for you is no. But if you like lower taxes, fewer

state expenditures, and guns...well boy are you in luck. Jokes aside, Republican or Democrat,

most people can agree that they appreciate a government that gets things done and can

appreciate a politician who delivers on what they promise. Having an executive and legislative

branch made up of the same party system allows for bills proposed by said politicians, to

actually continue through both chambers and make it to the governor’s desk to be signed into

law. Now for our more left-leaning readers, I would like to take this opportunity to remind you

that just because your party does not have the physical numbers necessary to claim a majority

in either chamber, you can still rest assured that you have good representation. The House and

Senate are still home to democratic legislators who will champion the left’s agenda at every

chance they get. The balance of power is still present, it will just have to take more legislators

willing to act in a bipartisan manner in order to properly represent the will of their constituents.

          However, democrats listen up, if you are disheartened by Landry’s victory and the fact that

there are a substantial amount of elephants in the room, there is something you can do. VOTE.

This past election cycle has reached a record-low voter turnout and Democrats have no one to

blame but themselves. It’s ironic to me because the republican vote for the governor was split

between four prominent candidates, while Democrats only had one major candidate to rally

around. I understand that the race seemed called from the beginning, with Landry a shoo-in for

the position, but it seems as if too many people had this sort of attitude on the day of the

election. Like it or not folks, Jeff Landry is going to be the new chief in town starting in January

of 2024. As Louisianians, we must keep up with what is going on in that 450 ft tower in

downtown Baton Rouge. Rest assured, we here at The Tomorrow Today will be vigilant on your

behalf. If you have any concerns or opinions regarding legislation that will be brought to the

chambers under the Landry administration, we encourage you to call your local representation

and make your voice heard. We live in a democracy folks, don't forget that. The elections may

be coming to a close, but it’s still the people’s house, and it's always open.

(Well figuratively, the LA State Capitol building’s hours of operation are 8 A.M-4:30 P.M.)
