I know. I know. I told everyone I was retiring at the end of 2024. But, as Michael Corleone famously lamented, “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.” And what stronger “pull” than another — my last, and this time I really mean it — edition of “Da Winnas and Da Loozas” for Louisiana’s annual legislative session? State lawmakers doubtless felt at times that they, too, were getting pulled back in. Back into MAGA’s and Gov. Jeff Landry’s divisive culture wars.

Most everyone knows that the National WWII Museum is one of New Orleans’ crown jewels. Its official opening 25 years ago as the National D-Day Museum attracted Hollywood celebrities, prominent elected officials, marching bands and some 10,000 veterans — including many who landed in Normandy on June 6, 1944. Today, the museum ranks among the most visited commemorative institutions in the country.

New Orleans’ history is filled with outsized political characters who, despite their shenanigans, left their marks on the city. In this age of social media, however, few pols dare to carry on that tradition. That’s what set former City Councilman Jay Batt apart from others of his generation — he fearlessly celebrated his penchant for hijinks. He also got things done. Jay died in his sleep on May 18 at the age of 64. His sudden passing shocked the thousands who knew and loved him.

Much has been written — deservedly so — about Bubby Henry’s transformative impact on the arc of Louisiana politics and government during his tenure as House speaker, chair of the 1973 constitutional convention, lobbyist and statesman. Not enough has been said of the man himself. A self-styled “country lawyer,” Bubba represented the closest Louisiana has ever come to its own Abe Lincoln, partly because of his imposing physical presence but more so because of his keen political and people skills.

The old saw that no one is safe in life, liberty or property as long as the Louisiana Legislature is in session was never truer than in Gov. Jeff Landry’s hastily called — and even more frantically concluded — special session on tax reform. In the final hours, lawmakers had little-to-no clear idea what they voted for, other than getting out of Baton Rouge in time to keep their pre-Thanksgiving travel plans. It’ll be interesting to see what happens once voters realize what’s about to change.
