Like every episode, No. 61 opens with an audio blast from the past in the form of a 1935 Universal Newsreel on a topic near and dear to Louisiana politics. After weighing in on our regular history feature, Senate Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Chairman Franklin Foil dives into a winding interview that culminates with news on the proposed constitutional convention. A member of Gov. Jeff Landry’s constitutional transition council, Foil talks about the enabling legislation, delegate format, article specifics and the required ratification vote. Foil also touches on the ongoing regular session, next year’s fiscal session and his personal path to public service through the U.S. Navy.
