Shreveport City Council pass anti DOGE/Trump resolutions

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS)—Resolutions passed during Tuesday’s meeting expressed the Shreveport City Council’s stance on decisions made in Washington, D.C.

The council passed three resolutions opposing cuts made by the Department of Government Efficiency—Doge and the Trump Administration; the Caddo Commission took similar action last week, passing three resolutions authored by Commissioner Ken Epperson.

The first resolution opposes cuts made to national aid programs and any future cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, Veterans Programs, SNAP, Head Start, and the Departments of Education and Defense.

The resolutions were sponsored by councilwomen Tabatha Taylor and Ursula Bowman and councilmen Alan Jackson and James Green. All voted in favor, along with Councilman Gary Brooks. Two councilmen, Councilman Grayson Boucher and Jim Taliaferro, voted no.

The resolutions will be forwarded to the President of the United States and the Louisiana Federal Congressional Delegation.

This comes after the Caddo Parish Commission passed three similar resolutions last week, all sponsored by Commissioner Ken Epperson.
