UPDATE: And, yet another salvo in the Edwards-Landry scuffle

UPDATE: The governor’s office has responded to Landry’s letter of today: “We have received the latest letter from the Attorney General.

Quitting the very lawsuit that was meant to bring justice for these families was never the answer, so his commitment to re-engage is welcome news.  In the 211 days the legislature has been in regular session since 2016, the attorney general has not offered a single bill. We will review his suggestions and hope to re-start a constructive dialogue. In the future, it is our hope that we can handle process disagreements person-to-person rather than through the media.” – Richard Carbo, spokesman for Gov. John Bel Edwards————————————————Last week, the Attorney General of Louisiana attacked the Governor of Louisiana via Twitter.This is simple: I support the death penalty – by lethal injection, gas, hanging, and firing squad.
