What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Voters in Louisiana approved a constitutional amendment that prohibits former governors from returning to office after serving more than six years, effectively barring John Bel Edwards and Bobby Jindal from seeking the state’s highest office again. Separately, voters approved changes to property tax rules, including raising the income threshold for property tax assessment freezes and allowing local governments to increase homestead exemptions for qualifying homeowners.
