Every Louisianan should be counted in the Census before the new September 30 deadline. If you haven’t done so already, you can fill it out either online, over the phone, or by mail. For more information, visit https://t.co/FMGtkBKpwA or call 844-330-2020. #LouisianaCounts #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

The census is more than just a count of our population, it determines how billions of dollars in federal funding are spent on hospitals, public services, schools and roads in Louisiana. #LouisianaCounts #lagov https://t.co/jjA3jLHdHj — PolitiTweet.org

It was my hope that the action today would not be necessary, but we are left with no choice as the owner insists on being non-compliant thus jeopardizing the safety of the employees and customers.#LaGov #LaLege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

The decisions I have made have not been easy, but they have been based on science, the data and recommendations by the White House Coronavirus Task Force. #LaGov #LaLege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

We have gone above and beyond to give this owner every opportunity to get in compliance with the order as our intent has always been to work with businesses. #LaGov #LaLege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Louisiana is number one in the nation for the number of COVID-19 cases per capita, and there is no doubt that this behavior is contributing to the unnecessary spread of this virus. That is unacceptable. #LaGov #LaLege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

The TRO prohibits the restaurant from operating in violation of an emergency order suspending their permit for violations of the mask mandate. Defiance of the order to help keep the people of our state safe by this establishment is reckless and irresponsible. #LaGov #LaLege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Today, I announced that a state court has issued a temporary restraining order against Firehouse BBQ restaurant in Denham Springs, for excessive non-compliance of the Phase 2 mitigation measures aimed at slowing the spread of COVID-19. https://t.co/9TXYUsCS22 #LaGov #LaLege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Funding allocated to hospitals, public services, schools, and roads is based on census data, and I urge everyone to do their part in shaping our communities by completing the 2020 Census today. #lagov #LouisianaCounts Visit: https://t.co/psyJm5jDQA https://t.co/QJlaFQg66t — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

The extension was granted earlier this week, but as it stands now Louisiana is required to pay a quarter of the cost to continue utilizing LANG in the fight against the virus, which amounts to $2.5 million a month, costing the state more than $10 million.#LaGov #LaLege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

This Phase 2 extension has prevented food banks across the state from accessing their normal pool of volunteers, making the National Guard’s ability to support food bank operations an important public service, particularly to under-serviced populations. #LaGov #LaLege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

There are 1,100 members of LANG who have been instrumental in helping the state respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency.The State remains at a critical phase of its efforts against the virus, and the support of the National Guard remains essential. #LaGov #LaLege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Today, I sent a letter to President Trump requesting that the extension of the Title 32 authorization for the Louisiana National Guard (LANG) be reconsidered to cover 100 percent funding through December 31, 2020. https://t.co/lR1FCAAUXA #LaGov #LaLege — PolitiTweet.org

Louisiana remains in Phase Two with the statewide mask mandate, closure of bars to on-premise consumption, and limit on gatherings of more than 50 people through August 28. We've got a long way to go in the fight against COVID-19, but I'm confident we will get there. #lagov https://t.co/xaZgrr3fhl — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

We’ve got a long way to go, but I am optimistic that we are going to get there. We have flattened the curve once, and we can do it again by doubling down on these effective, proven mitigation measures. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

On the other hand, if more people will comply with the mitigation measures, we will actually accelerate the improvements we are making and they will be long lasting. We can lower our transmission rate and save lives. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

We’re just asking everyone to do your part and to understand that the progress we have started to see over the last several days is positive, but we can lose it. If we do what we did after Memorial Day, we will lose our positive gains. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

I have signed an extension of the order keeping Louisiana in Phase Two and extending the statewide mask mandate, the closure of bars to on-premises consumption and the limitation on gatherings of more than 50 people through August 28. #lagov #lalege 🔗: https://t.co/4acNxanJXB — PolitiTweet.org
