Louisiana Republicans Abolish Elected Position Days Before Exoneree Takes Office
Louisiana Republican Gov. Jeff Landry signed legislation abolishing the Orleans Parish clerk of criminal court position just days before exoneree Calvin Duncan was set to take office after winning the election with 68% of the vote. The consolidation merges the civil and criminal court clerks' offices, saving the state $27,000 and the city $233,000 while shifting $1.17 million in expenditures to the parish. Democrats criticize the move as government overreach that disenfranchises a predominantly Black parish's voters.
