Recall Against Louisiana House Speaker Fails
The attempt to recall Louisiana House Speaker Clay Schexnayder has failed to reach enough signatures needed before the petition s deadline.
The petition, organized by Blaine Thomas LeMaire and Larry Jean LeMaire Jr. of Killian, was filed on September 18 last year citing
failure to support constituents and
failure of elected duties, as he was strongly critized for not fighting hard enough against Governor John Bel Edwards s state pandemic restrictions.
In order to be successful, the petition needed to receive signatures from 25% or more of the constituents in his home district within 180 days of filing. If the organizers had received the required amount of signatures needed, it would ve been brought up to a vote on whether or not to recall Schexnayder.
