The good times WILL roll again, but we have to wear our masks, wash ourhands, and wave at our neighbors from six feet away. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

None of these decisions are easy, I’ve mentioned that before, but it’s obviously the right thing to do. The worst thing we can do right now is get complacent. We have seen a few good days of news, but one or two days is not a trend. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

That there’s a partisan element to much of what’s going on is unacceptable. It’s interesting to me that people take issue with my orders, but they never note the fact that my orders are absolutely consistent with what the White House is telling states like ours. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

People certainly have a right to go to court. I believe the court will fully understand that not only do I have the authority under the Constitution to do what I’ve done, but what I’ve done is absolutely essential to protect the health of our people. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

The way we believe we will get back to where Louisiana was in the early summer, without having to go back to Phase 1 or Shelter at Home, is to mandate masks, close bars to on premises consumption & reduce crowd size. I, for one, do not want to go backwards. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

And that’s unfortunate, I know closing bars negatively impacts the livelihoods of many people in Louisiana. This is not something that we want to do. We don’t take any delight in it, but at the end of the day, we are in the midst of a public health emergency. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

This has been reaffirmed by data from all over the world, and that is why the official position of the White House Coronavirus Task Force is that bars need to be closed for the time being. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

It’s been determined by health care professionals that there are some environments so conducive to the spread of COVID-19 that they cannot be opened safety—and bars are one of these venues, unfortunately. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

The @LADeptHealth is reporting 1,829 new COVID-19 cases to the state today with 94% of cases being attributed to community spread. Wear a mask. Avoid congregating. Wash your hands. #lagov #lalege https://t.co/8G7kgigeVy — PolitiTweet.org

Nationwide, industries that depend on this Mississippi River to move goods will benefit greatly from this dredging project. More: https://t.co/kofMeSu5rc #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

When completed, this project will allow larger vessels that can currently use the widened Panama Canal to reach Louisiana ports as far north as Baton Rouge. It will also allow for some vessels to carry heavier loads. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Big news! An agreement to deepen the Mississippi River from the Gulf of Mexico through Baton Rouge has been authorized and signed. This is a great day for the people of Louisiana who depend on the Mississippi River for their livelihood. #lagov #lalege https://t.co/L1lC7C6LZI — PolitiTweet.org
