So, how long did it take newly elected Louisiana governor John Bel Edwards to break his first campaign promise? Well, according to Kevin Boyd at right leaning political site thehayride.com, "less than twenty four hours."

Says Boyd,

"...he made some promises to the state. One of them was to hold two special sessions this coming year to deal with structural budget crisis the state is in."

But then comes the day after the election comes the change:

"As he did during the campaign, Edwards said he would call the Legislature into special session in February; he also ruled out calling a second special session to deal with the mid-year budget shortfalls because of the action the joint budget committee took to close the state’s nearly $500 million shortfall on Friday."

Then Boyd wraps it up by writing:

"If it takes Edwards less than 24 hours to break his first promise on how he would deal with the state budget, what makes anyone believe they can trust him to keep his other promises such as that he won’t raise taxes?"
