Recorded in October 2016 during season two of the LaPolitics Report podcast, this episode features Commissioner of Administration (and then-state House Speaker) Taylor Barras. He explained how he learned about politics in a grocery store, via the family business growing up, and told us what it was like using Huey Long's old desk. You'll even hear why Huey had special switches installed under that desk as well! In our usual time-capsule segment, we drop in on the House floor for the final night of the 1979 regular session. You'll love this audio! It includes Billy Tauzin's rendition of Edgar Allan Poe's most well-known work and Bubba Henry's imitation of Earl Long. Plus, join in for a quick review of a list of Louisiana's 10 most influential elections, as compiled by author Errol Laborde of New Orleans magazine.
