## Resource

Governor Jeff Landry’s controversial executive order diverting $168 million from education funds to pay teachers a $2,000 stipend is now under legal fire. Plaintiffs argue the governor overstepped his authority by reallocating earmarked money without legislative approval, claiming only the legislature can decide how education funds are spent. A judge has temporarily blocked the plan for 11 days, pending a hearing on June 29th — leaving the funds untouched while the court weighs the governor’s constitutional limits.
