Contributing sentiments towards policy:
52% : In one predominately-African American neighborhood in the Ninth Ward, all 147 people who voted opposed Amendment 2, the tax measure.47% : Jenkins used his newspaper's website to spread opposition to Amendment 2 because one of the many provisions in the measure would have taken the tax exemption for churches out of the constitution and let state legislators decide whether to keep or end it.
34% : An unlikely crew of people on both the left and the right on Saturday torpedoed Gov. Jeff Landry's effort to revamp Louisiana's tax system and make three other changes to the state constitution.
32% : Landry raised money for an expensive advertising campaign and stumped throughout Louisiana in particular for Amendment 2, a complicated measure that would have rewritten the state tax code to reduce the top individual tax rate and impose a cap on government spending.
8% : "There was significant outrage about what we're seeing from Donald Trump and Jeff Landry," said Davante Lewis, a member of the Public Service Commission, which regulates utilities, who represents New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
