Louisiana lawmakers face absences as action proceeds
Four members were absent when the action moved forward as Lt. Gov Barham opposed the building authority arguing concentrated power and no public vote. The Senate president opposes the bill signaling a clash likely to top the three hour House debate. In the House Welborn Jack seeks compensation for losses from shrinkage and evaporation of gasoline used to pay taxes. His bill had 54 votes in favor, near the 66 needed for a constitutional proposal, with Gov. backing cited in rally efforts against it. The dispute centers on whether losses hit the gasoline tanks or the state treasury, estimated at about 350000 dollars. The House will also be studying further.
