This week on Behind The Lens, on Sunday evening, a vote within the US Senate cleared the way in which for a plan that might finish the longest U.S. authorities shutdown ever. With an settlement to open the federal government, we have a look again at what the previous 6 weeks has meant to those that trusted federal help, the place the state stepped in, and what it reveals concerning the Landry administration. 

Louisiana colleges are eagerly awaiting the state’s A-F letter grades, slated to be launched this month. In New Orleans, these grades largely decide which constitution colleges will win new contracts and keep open subsequent 12 months. A low grade might imply closure.

Our visitors this week are Louisiana Illuminator Editor Greg LaRose and Lens reporter Marta Jewson.
