As Riecke becomes officially off the Louisiana State Police Commission, we obtain resignation letters on colleague Guidry on two other Commissions all while reports surface that Gov. Landry’s son, JT, is employed by prominent trial lawyer Gordon McKernan.

Former Louisiana State Police Commission (LSPC) Member, Jared Caruso-Riecke.

Today’s Sound Off Louisiana feature focuses on those items referenced in the title to this feature:

6/5/25:  Burns discusses the formal departure from the LSPC of Commissioner Jared Caruso-Riecke, resignation letters submitted by LSPC Commissioner Stephen L. Guidry, Jr., for the Louisiana Motor Vehicle Commission (LMVC) and the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission (LHSC), and the revelations from sources we know to be highly reliable that Gov. Landry’s son, JT, is employed by prominent trial lawyer Gordon McKernan.

Here are references made in the above video:

===> Guidry’s resignation letter from the LMVC.

===> Guidry’s resignation letter from the LHSC.

===> The DAMNING email from Gov. Landry’s Head of Boards and Commissions, Ryan Roberts, to LSPC Executive Director Jason Hannaman which clearly outlines a distinction between Guidry’s mailing address and his voter registration address.

Now, we reached out to Gov. Landry’s Office inviting him to confirm, comment upon, appear on camera, or refute the sources we’ve relied upon for stating that his son, JT, is employed by arguably the most prominent trial lawyer in the state of Louisiana, Gordon McKernan.

Gov. Landry’s Press Secretary, Kate Kelly, responded 18 minutes later with this email.  From the email:

Robert—I (sic) not believe for (sic) this to be true .

There can be no question that Kelly has Gov. Landry’s contact information.  We therefore waited 24 hours prior to publishing this feature for there to be an emphatic denial from Gov. Landry of what our sources have told us.  Furthermore, our sources were gracious enough to provide even more corroboration during that 24-hour period.

We received no such denial from Gov. Landry; therefore, we deem our sources, who are the exact same sources who first tipped us off entailing the Riecke resignation, to be spot-on accurate.

Gov. Landry remains invited to refute the statements made by our sources regarding his son’s alleged employment by McKernan if he may be so inclined.
