Louisiana AG: Caddo Commission violated open meetings law with resolution welcoming Sen. Sanders to Shreveport

Published: Jun. 25, 2025 at 3:04 PM EDT

CADDO PARISH, La. (KSLA) - The Louisiana attorney general says she has launched an investigation into a possible open meetings law violation committed by the Caddo Parish Commission.

Attorney General Liz Murrill released information Wednesday, June 25 say the commission violated the open meetings law with a resolution welcoming Senator Bernie Sanders to Shreveport.

“I’ve instructed the Louisiana Department of Justice to open an investigation into a potential violation of the Open Meetings Law by the Caddo Parish Commission. If members of the Caddo Commission want to act as a body (including issuing documents in the name of the Commission welcoming socialist Bernie Sanders to Shreveport), they are legally required to put it in the agenda at a properly held public meeting,” Murrill said.

Sen. Sanders visited Shreveport’s Municipal Auditorium Saturday, June 21 as part of his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour. Staff at the auditorium estimate nearly 2,000 people attended the rally.

Bernie: Thank you for the great turnout in Shreveport, LA – the hometown of Speaker Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson's constituents – like people all across this country – do not want to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for huge tax breaks for billionaires.

My god, all those people who decided they wanted to hear from the “socialist” agenda. We can’t have that now can we.

Perhaps they can also gather who attended this socialist meeting. Those attendees definitely shouldn’t hear from any other sources except the maga overlords.
