Former state Sen. Bodi White quits as aide to Jeff Landry

Former state Sen. Bodi White has quit as Gov. Jeff Landry’s legislative liaison after a staffer to Landry lied to him about financing for a bill and that in turn caused White to provide misinformation to a senator and former colleague, he said Tuesday.
“I can’t work with people who make me lie,” White said, referring to Lance Maxwell, Landry’s chief legislative liaison. White had been working for Maxwell since Landry became governor in January.
quote:
White said the trouble in the Capitol began on Wednesday when he advised Sen. Glen Womack, R-Harrisonburg, that House Bill 114, which the governor wanted, carried a $336,000 cost. White said he wanted to make sure Womack knew this because Womack chairs the Senate Finance Committee and would need to make sure that it received funding.
HB 114 by Rep. Les Farnum, R-Sulphur, would require an annual canvass of registered voters to ensure that everyone on the rolls is properly there. This bill is a priority for Landry after then-Gov. John Bel Edwards, his predecessor, vetoed a similar measure three times for fear that it would remove active voters from the rolls who simply hadn’t voted recently.
White said that Maxwell told him the House had provided the money for HB 114. But having served as chair of the Finance Committee for the past four years, White checked himself and found that the House hadn’t funded it.
He said he and Maxwell had a heated conversation, and then he quit.

Landry is swamp scum. I think it's hilarious that posters on this board think he's great.

Landry is a jacksss just like JBE was a jackass. 2 different political parties, 2 different philosophies. But both are pieces of frickin trash.
Sorry to sound like a centrist, but if you bash Landry you gotta bash dumbass JBE too otherwise posters on this board will use that to deflect from the fact that the Republican in charge is a stooge just like the Democrat that was in charge.

Bodi White was a politician in the Capitol for 20 years. Is he suddenly shocked by what’s going on all around him?
He “served” during the Jindal and Bel Edwards administrations. TONS of funny business with money and budgeting occurred during those 16 years.

I support Landry wanting to maintain the voter rolls. That is good policy.
But everything regarding Landry is an absolute shite show these days.
This issue likely has more to do with a POS working for Landry than it does with Landry himself, but I would think the head of your liasion team is very close to the governor, so he had to know what he was getting.

This may be the reason Bodi is putting out there. I’m betting he thought being aligned with Landry would get him the nod for the first St. George Mayor.

Landry is getting a second term also. The state GOP will not run anyone against him we all know this state is not electing a Dem anytime soon to be gov. So far he has killed vapes ( 15million a month in tax rev a mont) and now they are killing the hemp industry with over 40 million in sales a year to prop up the 2 biggest GOP donors in this state who just happen to own the largest medical marijuana companies in the state.
This state politics have been hot garbage in the 25yrs I have lived here but the voters just keep electing them when all the warning signs are out there.

LINK / Read this. A short paragraph…the short is…. Clerks of court send jury summons. When they get undelivered mail, they are suppose to send to Registrars of voters to canvass (to get illegitimate registrations off the rolls). Guess how many COC and ROV are doing this? NONE…we don’t need new laws to clean voter roles. We need bureaucrats to enact the existing laws.Bodi was lied to about a new BS bill to clean rolls and that it was funded…..
