Those investments are also an important investment in people, with Hood Container now reaching the highest employment at the plant since it was closed more than a decade ago. This represents another important win for our economy in rural Louisiana. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

With the project, Hood Container will retain 306 existing employees and a $23 million annual payroll at the mill on the Mississippi River, near St. Francisville, Louisiana. The expansion also is expected to support 75 construction jobs. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

COVID-19 is more rampant in Louisiana now than it has ever been. We now have a statewide epidemic, it is no longer one or two regions driving case growth. It's on all of us to do better and wear masks in public, practice social distancing and avoid congregating. #lagov #lalege https://t.co/ev4pTHWhCT — PolitiTweet.org

These dollars will not completely solve the digital divide but they will be a huge step in the right direction. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Approximately $35 million will be made available to the Louisiana Dept. of Education and $15 million to the Board of Regents. This funding will begin addressing the gap in the delivery of instruction when schools ended on-campus instruction earlier this year. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

$50 million through the CARES Act for the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund (GEER) Fund is now available for K-12 schools and higher education in Louisiana. 📰:https://t.co/Qk4OZIu5Ht #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

While there are cuts in the budget, CARES Act funding allowed us to avoid making them even more catastrophic. In addition, we were able to invest CARES funding into programs for local governments, aid to businesses & direct payments to essential frontline workers. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

I have directed state agencies to prepare for possible mid-year cuts and, we will continue working with the Legislature to make any adjustments that may be necessary this fall. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Right now our budget is in a far better shape than we could have hoped just three months ago, with funding for critical services in place as we continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and see case counts as well as hospitalizations rising. #lagov #lalege — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

I signed the state’s budget for the FY 20-21 operating year today, preserving funding for critical health care and workforce and education services that are needed during the pandemic. #lagov #lalege 📰: https://t.co/BmYySBqCmi — PolitiTweet.org
