In this edition of The App: ArkLaTex People and Politics, Shreveport State Representative Steven Jackson discusses the upcoming Louisiana legislative session. One of the bills he plans to introduce would raise the promotional cap for casinos in his district—a move he says is necessary to stay competitive with neighboring states like Texas and Oklahoma, which have no such cap.

Jackson also weighs in on the recent failure of four constitutional amendments and what that could mean for the legislature and future budgeting.
