FWIW: Some women lawmakers told me that they may see more urgency to fire someone at LSU than @LouisianaGov because they are receiving lots of messages from students/former students who haven't gone public about their bad experiences with certain LSU officials. #lalege

When I asked @LouisianaGov why he and the women lawmakers had different opinions on whether more people should be fired at LSU, he essentially said the women lawmakers should name the people they want fired publicly. #lalege

.@LouisianaGov is right. The women lawmakers have called for more people to be fired at LSU over this scandal, but they haven't used specific names publicly

Three people come up over and over again in private conversations though: Ausberry, Segar and Jonathan Sanders. #lalege

.@ReginaBarrow reiterated again yesterday that she and the other women want people further punished at LSU. She asked several questions about Sanders' status specifically during the hearing. #lalege #lagov

FWIW: @LouisianaGov and women in the Legislature also seem to be on different pages about how cooperative LSU officials are being. See below....

.@Aimee4nola was irritated @Coach_EdOrgeron announced he wouldn't show up to talk to women lawmakers, but then he held a Zoom press conference with sports reporters. #lalege #lagov

Soon after women lawmakers complained that LSU officials refused to testify -- @ReginaBarrow said they might consider subpoenas -- @LouisianaGov told reporters:

“I don’t believe it is fair to say that people at LSU were unwilling to come forward and to speak.” #lalege

In any case, here's the story looking at @LouisianaGov and the women lawmakers are responding differently to LSU's scandal. The women keep saying they want someone fired. Edwards says the response from LSU so far has been reasonable. lailluminator.com/2021/04/09/lou… #lalege
