What my significant other remembers is that Gov. Mike Foster fought a motorcycle helmet law…and liked to ride motorcycles. It’s funny what sticks in people’s minds. #lalege #lagov https://t.co/HWHEp7k3LL

I was not around for Mike Foster but I’ve always been impressed with the remarkable amount of stuff he got done — built the community college system, new standards for K-12 schools, etc.
Also, he went to law school while governor….LAW SCHOOL. #lalege #lagov
