NY lawmakers want to enact non-essential travel ban to Louisiana following Gov. Bobby Jindal’s E. O.

New York Assemblyman Danny O’Donnell and State Senate Deputy Minority Leader Mike Gianaris have urged New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to enact the travel ban, which is similar to what New York enacted on Indiana after it passed its religious freedom law.
