Republican Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry is encouraging the state's Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards to reopen churches in the state, numerous sources reported.
In a letter sent to the governor Thursday, Landry said "religious liberty is a bedrock principled right from which our freedom flows," and urged the governor to consider reopening churches after Edwards extended the state's stay-at-home orders through May 15, according to Fox 8.
"As other states begin reopening and unrest in the Legislature continues, I believe many faith-based congregations will begin to meet with or without guidance," Landry wrote.
