Several RINOs populate both chambers of the Legislature, individuals who exploit both Louisiana’s eroding populist political culture and [[conservatism]] on social issues.

That especially includes influential people wanting government to tax more so it can spend more, preferably on contracts for them, and allows RINOs to shovel more money to local government and state bureaucracy back home.
