Alfred "Butch" Speer, a member of the state Ethics Board and the former clerk of the House of Representatives, has survived constitutional conventions and more than one round of redistricting. He's also forgotten more about regular sessions than most of us will ever learn.

Recorded in February 2015, this episode features a terrific overview of how Speer landed one of the Legislature’s most high-profile gigs. Also in this episode are a set of practical tips for mastering the House process.

Plus, this episode kicks off with a job description for "Being Louisiana Governor," delivered by late Gov. Edwin Edwards.
