Auditor finds Orleans Parish School Board exceeded General Fund budget by 75%+, violates Local Government Budget Act, has control gaps on cash collections and IT access. Ethics policies and investment portfolio limits also need updating. Management responds with corrective plans. Fiscal discipline and transparency must improve. https://t.co/zj185ShZEI

🚨Today, I'm proud to announce the successful passage of my landmark 24-bill legislative package.

Thank you to all the members of the @LouisianaHouse and @louisianasenate who were instrumental in carrying and fighting for these bills throughout the legislative process. Together we are bringing transformative change by holding criminals accountable, protecting our kids from predators, giving voice to victims, and safeguarding the tax dollars of the hard-working men and women of this State. ⚜️ #lalege

Boston and OKC are potential landing spots for Trey Murphy III, per @BillSimmons

“We assume he’s probably going to get traded over the next three weeks. I think Boston is a possibility. We thought whoever lost this matchup (Spurs and Thunder) is a possibility. You have two to three weeks to trade for someone like that.”

🚨 SB123 (Jacob Carter Act) may be up for a vote again soon after, unfortunately, falling short of the 70 House votes needed. Reps marked in yellow are those who are usually reliable public safety votes, but inexplicably voted no or absent. Please email these reps... 🔽 #lalege

@BKPJDP @LAGovJeffLandry @SpkrDeVillier @EDSecMcMahon @LAGOP @TheHayride Very disappointing news

[Rep. Clay Higgins @RepClayHiggins]

Wow. I’ve been quiet until now, but…
THIS?… what the hell? This map is the worst I’ve seen yet, and I’ve seen many. This Frankenstein looking thing was NO DOUBT drawn up by a very small handful of guys in a secret room. NOBODY should support this insanely bad map.
  I am 100% opposed to this latest and worst iteration of proposed Louisiana Congressional Districts.

Do you think it might have been important to report actual data with this story to explain the disparity in numbers and why the adjustment was needed?
