The Sheriffs are the most powerful, successful drug gang in Louisiana. The amount of money and treasure they haul in to "fight" drugs is astounding. — PolitiTweet.org

Not necessarily surprising, but still interesting that old school racist ads didn't end up working for Gusman in the New Orleans Sheriff's race - and may have backfired - but def did in St Tammany's casino vote. Slidell ain't so geographically far, but morally it sure seems to be — PolitiTweet.org

@BrendanCuti yup. I always felt like transparency in earmarks - like making congress subject to FOIA for instance - would help curb the bad. with term limits ... maybe its more terms? i dunno tbh — PolitiTweet.org

@BrendanCuti but also curbs careerism rot. — PolitiTweet.org

john r stanton @dcbigjohn

@BrendanCuti I never was against earmarks per se, just the abuse of them. Same with unlimited terms in office. That leads to stagnation and rot, for sure. BUT terms limits don't seem to work so well either. I dunno the answer, but there's gotta be another option that allows for expertise — PolitiTweet.org

john r stanton @dcbigjohn

@BrendanCuti i feel like it's a bit like earmarks. I wrote for years about fucked up earmarks in congress - Tom Delay once called me Mr Anti-Earmark Guy lol. But when they just got rid of them, lots of local stuff everywhere ended up not getting funded, but the crooked shit still went on — PolitiTweet.org

Looking at the New Orleans City Council make up, there's no really reliable vote for the mayor. That's a huge shift in the city's politics, particularly since she's term limited. We'll have to wait and see how it plays out, but still. — PolitiTweet.org

Troy Glover may have lost in District D, but he's got a very bright political future. We endorsed him based on his positions on key issues but also on the actual work he's done, especially with formerly the incarcerated. you'll be seeing more of @geauxwithglover. — PolitiTweet.org

The Sheriff in New Orleans doesn't have much to do with that, tbh. But Hutson is definitely not in line with the Reagan Era "Law and Order" style approach to police or incarceration — PolitiTweet.org

Susan Hutson's election is a HUGE shift in politics in New Orleans. Gusman tried very hard to use "defund the police" tropes and race baiting attacks rooted in Jesse Helms' infamous "black hands" ads against Hutson. Neither appear to have worked. https://t.co/ikebnMbtB5 — PolitiTweet.org
