    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Louisiana’s attorney general, along with counterparts in Alabama and Arkansas, has filed a lawsuit with the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the abortion “shield laws” of New York, California and Massachusetts. Attorney General Liz Murrill said the laws, which grant immunity to doctors in the Democratic-led states who prescribe certain abortion medications remotely, violate the Constitution and federal law and prevent states with abortion bans from enforcing their own laws. “We want to be able to

    Louisiana exonerees are still fighting for more compensation despite Gov. Landry's veto (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Louisiana lawmakers unanimously agreed to increase the number of years a wrongfully incarcerated person could receive compensation in the most recent legislative session. But it was among the handful of bills Gov. Jeff Landry vetoed. The bill, sponsored by Democratic Senator Gerald Boudreaux, would have increased the maximum compensation period to 15 years from 10 years. Four years ago, the maximum annual compensation for exonerees increased from $25,000 to $40,000. Boudreaux said he was inspire

    Read excerpt

    Campaign season for Louisiana’s six congressional races is finally underway after a second round of qualifying. LSU Political Science Professor Robert Hogan said the races to watch are the open seats of the 5th and 6th congressional districts. “Those opportunities don't present themselves all that often when there's an open seat like that,” said Hogan. “So, you're going to bring out a lot of candidates who have aspirations for winning a higher office like that.” Republican Gov.

    Read excerpt

    Rep. Cleo Fields (D-La) announced Tuesday (July 21) that he will not seek re-election to represent Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District. Instead, Fields, 63, will seek to fill his former state Senate seat, which was left vacant after the unexpected death of Sen.
