Complaining to the Louisiana House and Senate.

Since the new bill passed, an opportunity has presented itself to send information on the shenanigans of the board to the legislators. I didn’t know if anyone was receiving my complaints, but evidently they are. Thank you legislators of Louisiana. I appreciate you providing oversight to this corrupt board. My emails are below:

The state of Louisiana needs to know what has been going on with this corrupt board. Below is my story. (Story not copied and pasted on this blog post- you can see it in another post). If anymore information is needed to file a formal complaint, please let me know. Thank you. I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards, JM

I’m checking to see if anyone received this. I haven’t heard back. 

The reply:

10/26/2018 JM, Act No. 655 does not require any specific format or content of a complaint to the committee regarding the actions and procedures of a licensing board.  This email is to confirm that the Committee on House and Governmental Affairs has received your complaint regarding the LSBME actions and procedures. 

Woooohoooooooo! It is working. Someone is seeing these and hopefully passing them along to the proper person(s). So grateful. Keep breathing.

Finally–some oversight and accountability. But will anyone read these emails or answer the phone calls? Only time will tell. I actually stumbled upon this info on the LSBME’s website, but the first time I saw it was in the email signature of my compliance officer in October 2018.

In compliance with Act 2018-655, the Board gives notice to its licensees and applicants of their opportunity to file a complaint about board actions and board procedures. You may submit such complaints to one or more of the following organizations:
