BATON ROUGE, La. – Yesterday Governor Jeff Landry the launch of a 17-member task force to investigate why every previous task force on insurance reform has failed to accomplish anything.
The newly formed Committee to Study the Effects of Studying Committees will meet quarterly in a taxpayer-funded hotel conference room with no Wi-Fi and a suspicious smell. Their mission? To compile a report explaining why all previous reports were ignored.
“We’re taking inaction seriously,” Landry told reporters. “This task force will have full authority to hold discussions, generate flowcharts, and possibly even create a subcommittee.”
The group includes three former insurance executives, two relatives of current legislators, and one guy who “used to work in claims or something.” Their first report is expected in 2027, pending a budget extension, scheduling conflicts, and hurricane season.
Landry insists this is a crucial first step: “We can’t fix the insurance problem until we’ve really understood why we never fix the insurance problem.”
Critics, meanwhile, have already formed a committee tasked with appointing a task force to investigate this task force.
