Glenn Koepp is new Senate Secretary in Louisiana
Looking back over his 58 years, it seems almost as if Glenn Koepp was destined to be where he is today.
The Bogalusa area native had a hereditary interest in the law and politics, and Koepp's new job is secretary of the Louisiana state Senate, where he will allow him to help politicians shape the law.
Senators turned to the steady, capable Koepp last week after firing former Secretary Mike Baer, a 32-year employee who in January sent a sexually explicit e-mail to everyone on the Capitol's e-mail server. ...
In 1981, Koepp became assistant Senate secretary and was put in charge of legislative and other redistricting matters by then-Senate President Michael O’Keefe of New Orleans, who later went to federal prison on personal business fraud charges unrelated to his public duties.
Delving into the complexities of census data, Koepp became a redistricting expert and developed a computer system to simplify the arduous political job. He consults with governments in Oklahoma, West Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Nevada and Washington state. -- Koepp looks ahead to new challenge (Lafayette Advertiser)
