Jones Forces Narrow Victory In Senate Ballot
In Baton Rouge on June 9 the Louisiana Senate narrowly backed Governor Jones by a 21 to 18 vote to go into executive session over the fire marshal nominee. Senator Cawthorn denounced the move, while Senator Clements warned of job losses for Jones appointees if the nominee were confirmed. A 28-10 vote approved transferring utilities to third parties with local consent, and a 19-19 tie defeated a related franchise ratification measure after Ellis switched his position.
