Louisiana Legislators are headed to Boston

According to The Advocate, 34 or so legislators and their staff (128 people in all) are going to Boston for the National Conference of State Legislatures' annual conference.

The article says law makers argue the importance of having a high number of representatives from Louisiana promoting next year's conference which will be held in New Orleans.

About 1/3 of the legislators scheduled to attend are from Greater New Orleans, while two (Sen. Lydia Jackson and Rep. Roy Burrell) will represent Shreveport.
