I used to work for the Orleans Public Defender's office and it sad to see such wonderful people and a great organization in such trouble.

My question is, besides the effort in the legislature to reallocate funds from death penalty appeal cases, are there other efforts by state legislators to create a permanent, stable source of funding for the office?

Does anyone in Baton Rouge consider this a priority? Does the governor at least consider this to be an important issue?

I will have to do that. Are there rallies or demonstrations planned for public defense during this legislative session?
