→Dismissal from Jena trade school
Meanwhile, Wright was dismissed from his position at the Jena campus of the [[Alexandria, Louisiana|Alexandria]]-based Louisiana Technical College after he was found to have used paid sick leave to attend legislative sessions. Wright then sued the state for wrongful termination. He argued that his sick leave requests were approved with bona fide medical excuses. Wright accused his fellow Democrat, Governor [[Kathleen Blanco]], of ordering his firing because he had angered technical college administrators when he questioned some of their practices.<ref name=tradeschool>{{cite web|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/219887847/|title=Central Louisiana legislative seat up for grabs|publisher=''The Shreveport Times'' through newspapers.com|page=12|date=January 4, 2006|accessdate=May 12, 2020}}</ref>
