Constitutional Bill Finally Approved by Louisiana Legislature
Rep. James L. Dennis of Monroe leads a reform drive as five constitutional amendments and 22 statutory measures win Senate approval and move to the House. The package aims to remove about 80 local agencies from the constitution and set them as statutes ahead of a February 1972 general election. Dennis, coordinator of the Louisiana Constitutional Revision Commission, calls the move a step toward a more streamlined state government, with final testing to come from voter approval.
