"Nashville is over 700,000 people... New Orleans is 362,000 people. Nashville has *one* juvenile court judge elected. She appoints commissioners on her behalf... That's *one* point of contact to the public. That's *one* point of accountability to the public." #lalege #lagov #nolasky

"To put this all in perspective for you... New Orleans has, for instance, 12 appellate court judges on the Fourth Circuit. The entire state of Georgia — the entire state — has 15." This is ridiculous. No more "studies." Rightsize the courts now. #lalege #lagov #nolasky
