Late final fall, after NOLA Public Colleges discovered itself in a price range disaster, metropolis council members stepped as much as present the district with a desperately wanted money infusion. That bailout was stymied by the mayor who argued that town couldn’t afford it. Now town council is seeking to outmaneuver the mayor with a price range modification, which the mayor may veto.  

In an indication of resistance to Governor Jeff Landry’s coverage proposals, voters in Louisiana overwhelmingly rejected his 4 constitutional amendments in an election on Saturday, which may have broad implications for the remainder of his time period.
