Today we unveil "For Dear Life," my deep dive for @NOLAnews/@theadvocatebr into why Louisiana's infant mortality rates are among the highest in the developed world, and the families carrying these tragedies. Here's our first story:

Scott Pelley on being fired: “I have been in combat in Afghanistan. I have been in combat in Iraq. I have been in the war zone in Ukraine multiple times, risking my life and the happiness of my family because of my devotion to the broadcast.”

1/ In Texas' Hood County - 8 data center proposals arrived over 10 months.
Locals are worried they'll sap resources and change the face of their charming, rural community. Local officials say they have no power to stop them, and their efforts have been met with legal threats.

Fascinating, beautiful story about the complexities of "passe blanc," the family secrets it created and the next generations working to unravel them:

Louisiana could soon send $50 million more to fortified roof grants. Is this the state's way out of ever-rising homeowners' insurance costs? And what's to be done about people who still struggle to afford out-of-pocket costs above the grant? Via @samkarlin

Louisiana folks: Have you been on the waitlist for the state's fortified roof lottery? Would love to chat. [email protected].

It's been quite a month for Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill. She indicted the New Orleans sheriff, threatened to remove 8 city leaders from office, won the landmark Callais case.
@rjamesfinn takes a deeper look at what it all means:

Lane Kiffin is one of the most controversial and fiercely hated coaches in college football, following his shocking departure from Ole Miss for a $91 million contract at LSU. “No coach I talked to at any point ever said, ‘stay there.’” Kiffin says. “You got one life” https://t.co/kNueefe5qK

My deep dive into LIV Golf's failed New Orleans tournament finds helicopters from wealthy donors, NDAs and a previously unknown $22 million offer from Louisiana to land the tournament.

LIV in Louisiana:

Demand NDAs, get huge state incentive package, cancel tourney

Via @samkarlin

"Louisiana Econ Development officials declined to answer several questions about the deal, but confirmed they signed a nondisclosure agreement to negotiate with LIV. Other state officials, including Nungesser, signed nondisclosure agreements to negotiate with LIV as well

[Sam Karlin @samkarlin]

My latest: Why did Billy Nungesser fly on Shane Guidry's jet with an Australian former pro golfer named "The Shark?"

Why did Louisiana officials sign NDAs and offer LIV Golf $22 million?

And what does Louisiana have to show for it?

I dig in:
