    Read excerpt

    A new analysis contends state environmental regulators have been exceedingly slow in responding to most air quality violations in a heavily industrialized area of southwest Louisiana while also issuing weak penalties when investigations are complete.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Hyundai's planned steel mill in Ascension Parish received key state backing Thursday for up to $1.3 billion in tax-free financing despite opposition from activists over the pollution impact, billions in incentives and their skepticism that promised jobs would materialize for residents living closest to the plant.
