Your homestead exemption is protected in the current constitution. The repeal of this exemption in a constitutional convention would increase your property taxes. 

When asked if he would protect your homestead exemption, Rispone wouldn’t answer and asked, “How am I going to do that”?

Additionally, the funding for all K-12 public schools is protected in the current Louisiana constitution.  The K-12 funding includes operations, teachers’ and staff salaries, and retirement.  When Bobby Jindal was drastically slashing higher education’s budgets, the constitution prevented him from doing the same with K-12. 

Supplemental pay for police and law enforcement is also protected under the current constitution. 

Governor John Bel Edwards has said there is no need for a constitutional convention where everything is on the table, and he would never support taking away your family’s homestead exemption.  He would also fight to keep funding for K-12 and supplemental pay for police and law enforcement protected in the constitution. 

We believe these protections are important to those we represent.
