Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry prepares to provide the introduction of his tax reform package to the Louisiana House Ways and Means Committee on November 7, 2024.
Sound Off Louisiana founder Robert Burns awoke this morning (Saturday, March 15, 2025) only to see an old friend, Foghorn Leghorn, staring right at him!
“Fog,” as Burns likes to call him, seemed very upset with Burns as evidenced by his hands directly on his hips as he stared Burns down. Here’s dialogue between the two of them:
FOG: “I say I say I say I got a bone I need to pick ‘wit you, Burns!”
BURNS: “What’s wrong, Fog?”
FOG: “I say I say I say you been up here on ‘dis here crusade ‘hooping and ‘hollering against my good friend, Jeff Landry. I say I say I say you been a ‘preachin ‘bout how bad he is ‘wit that dog gone Police Commission!”
BURNS: “But, Fog, it’s all true. I supplied the documents.”
FOG: “I say I say I say I done told ever’body I know ’bout how corrupt ‘dat Commission is, but you ‘gotta say somthin’ good ‘bout my boy, Jeff, now. You can’t be up here just a ‘railin ‘genst ‘da man! I ain’t ‘gonna stand for it. You hear me, boy? I say I say I say, now get ‘yoself out ‘dere in front ‘dat ‘dere camera of ‘yose and say something good ‘bout my boy, Jeff!”
BURNS: “Okay, Fog. I can do that! I don’t want you all upset with me!”
FOG: “I say I say I say now ‘dats more like it. Can’t wait to see what you ‘gonna say!”
So, with that, and in conformity with “Fog’s” admonition earlier this morning to Burns, here’s our latest feature providing our full-throttled support behind Gov. Landry’s Constitutional Amendment 2 (and all three of the other Amendments as well):
March 15, 2025: Burns adheres to “Fog’s” admonition and touts why he believes voters should wholeheartedly support Constitutional Amendment Two on March 29, 2025 (as well as the other three Amendments on the ballot as well).
As stated in the feature, here is The Advocate article which we tout to explain the four amendments. It enables anyone to do “homework” on the amendments, which is something attorney William Most, who has sued Secretary of State Nancy Landry over this Amendment, apparently doesn’t feel voters are capable of doing.
Also, here’s is the link for the quote of Pastor Tony Spell, which we reproduce here:
He (Spell) added that some religious organizations own rental housing with many units, for example.
“That’s why I’m concerned about it, because I own some of those properties,” he said.
So, with that, we urge voters to support Constitutional Amendment Two on the March 29, 2025 ballot (along with the other three Amendments as well).
Editor’s Note:
Burns dedicates this feature to the loving memory of his mom, who would have turned 94 only a few days ago.
During the time his mom spent in the nursing home directly across the street from he and his mother’s apartment, Burns would cross the street and visit three times a day every day (until Covid and, even thereafter, would go once a day with the fantastic folk at the nursing home being willing to wheelchair his mom to the door to where they could still visit, albeit with the glass door separating them).
For the eight (8) months prior to Covid, Burns would also take his mom out for a brief walk in Walden Subdivision, where she and he walked for decades. His mom could not walk very far anymore, and she had to be supported at all times because her brain was susceptible to having a sudden blackout at which she would immediately collapse, so Burns had to be able to support her and immediately hug her tightly until that episode would run its course.
The nursing home would insist that a wheel chair be used to the point of the door, and Burns would always amuse his mom by doing his best Foghorn Leghorn impersonation and say, “I say I say I say I think it’s time for our walk, mom! What do you say?” She would typically always say, “You’re a mess, boy!”
Somehow, we think she’d be saying the exact same thing about the above feature!
God Bless You, Helen Yvonne Burns, for the 57 wonderful years you spent on this earth giving me the honor of being your son, and I look so very forward to the day when I see you again!
