Louisiana House Speaker Clay Schexnayder today announced the special committee meeting on June 16—where Gov. John Bel Edwards had been called to testify about his knowledge regarding the death of motorist Ronald Greene while in State Police custody—will be postponed.
Schexnayder says the meeting will be moved until after the special legislative session called for Jun 15-20 to redraw the state’s congressional redistricting map that a federal judge ruled unlawful this week.
“The magnitude of this hearing cannot be overstated and all deserve to have the committee’s full attention, which would not be possible during a special session,” Schexnayder says in a prepared statement.
