DYSART, J., CONCURS AND ADDS REASONS

I respectfully concur with the majority finding that the order issued herein

lacks specificity in accordance with La.C.C.P. art. 3605; however, I write further to

add that this technical procedural error should not diminish the substantive finding

of the trial court.

The political ad at issue for our State’s highest office states that Governor

Edward’s associate “scored big”, was “poise[d] to cash in up to $65 million, and

that his company had a “lucrative deal.”

All of those statements are false, misleading, or at the very least, quoting

Winston Churchhill, a “terminological inexactitude.” For defendants/respondents

to refer to these statements as “mere political hyperbole” is disingenuous and

reckless on the part of those seeking to elect our State’s Governor.
