Seek New Attack On Reapportion
BATON ROUGE AP The LaFourche Parish police jury moved to invite five other parishes losing seats under the new House seating law to join a new legal challenge to its constitutionality. Rep Wollen Falgout reported the decision after a Thibodaux meeting. A second court challenge looms as Dist Judge Elmo Lear refused to block the reapportionment act. He denied a preliminary injunction sought by seven St Landry Parish taxpayers to block publishing of the law. A planning meeting is set for next Monday as Falgout proposes filing a new attack targeting parish Democratic executive committees that set calls for House races leading to the December 7 Democratic primary. The seating law cuts one seat from Lafourche, St Landry, Natchitoches, and Orleans wards 3 and 11.
