@PelicanInst CEO. I'm at my very most winsome when I'm in formalwear. Opinions are my own. But let's be honest - I'd prefer they were yours, too.

It's super fun to be sitting on an airplane (parked on the runway at LGA) when a nationwide ground stop is ordered.

I believe you should always re-read your favorite books at different stages of your life. The plot never changes but your perspective does.

Statement from Gayle Benson and the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans on the death of Michael Bayham

[Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson]

We were shocked and saddened this morning by the news of La. State Rep. Mike Bayham’s untimely passing.

Mike has been a trusted friend of mine for more than 35 years, and he carried forward the same servant’s heart and love of country that he did when we campaigned together as undergraduates at LSU.  

Majority Leader @SteveScalise and I reminisced this morning about our faithful friend, and how much he cared for his country and our conservative principles.

Kelly and I will miss Mike, and we pray for all those across our state who are impacted by his passing.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.”

We are saddened by the passing of Rep. Mike Bayham. Our prayers are with his family, friends and the St. Bernard community as they mourn his loss. May he rest in eternal peace.

Early this morning Representative Mike Bayham passed away.

Mike was a true public servant, bringing passion and determination to everything he did. The interests of St. Bernard Parish and Louisiana were always at the forefront.

Throughout his health battles, Mike remained joyful and dedicated to his work. Always in pursuit of ways to make Louisiana better.

While I know we will all miss Mike’s presence throughout the halls of the Capitol and the streets of St. Bernard, I know that he has “fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.”

Sharon and I join all of Louisiana in mourning this loss. Please keep the Bayham family, his colleagues in the legislature, and St. Bernard Parish in your prayers.

May God welcome @MikeBayham home.

@QuinHillyer @PelicanInst @marklevinshow Can Claude draft it for me??

@marklevinshow AOL? That's practically cutting-edge technology compared to Louisiana's regulatory code. We still have 11 regulations referencing TELEGRAMS. Yes, telegrams.

Incredible stuff.

A Maryland mall closed down over 20 years ago and the lot has been sitting vacant since. A developer planned to invest $5 billion in a data center.

Instead, a China-tied group worked with a local activist to block the development.

To the veterans who call Louisiana home and all who have served: thank you for your service, your sacrifice and the ways you continue to strengthen our communities.

With gratitude, today and every day. Happy Veterans Day. 🇺🇸

A sign of what a good guy Mike is.

@rightwave One of these things ain’t like the other!?!?

[Abundance Institute @abundanceinst]

America needs nearly 5,000 miles of additional high-capacity transmission lines every year to keep up with growing electricity demand.

That's 10x what The Proclaimers said they would walk in order to be your man.

Last year, we completed about 400 miles—just 80% of one single Proclaimers walk.

But there's another way to expand capacity: replace old wires on existing power lines with advanced conductors that can carry significantly more electricity.

Industry studies suggest these upgrades could *double* capacity on many existing lines at less than half the cost per mile of building new ones.

The bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) would make these upgrades easier by reducing permitting barriers. This gets us closer to the 10 annual Proclaimers walk length of transmission lines we need.

@taylordbarkley explains in @thehill how getting more electricity out of the infrastructure we already have could help lower Americans' power bills.

🙏 Mike needs our prayers, friends.

[Governor Jeff Landry @LAGovJeffLandry]

Please join Sharon and me in prayer for Representative Mike Bayham who is facing severe health challenges.

Although this is a hard battle, I know Mike is as tough as nails!

All of Louisiana is with you, thinking of you, and praying for you, Mike!

[Pelican Institute @PelicanInst]

Louisiana has 180,000+ regulatory restrictions.

Our new report with @PacificLegal and @EconPatrick estimates cutting red tape by 10% over three years could make the economy about $7 billion larger by 2037 than under current policy.
