In Louisiana, whether an elected official running for Congress has signed an NDA related to economic development projects could become campaign fodder. Congresswoman Letlow and a handful of state lawmakers running have signed them. #lalege

Louisiana's 6th congressional district candidates have different takes on whether to bring back the subsidies that made Obamacare health plans more affordable, incoming Medicaid work requirements. #lalege #lagov

I’m taking it as a sign of good work that I’ve been too busy field reporting to have been very active on socials, but have made it back. Enjoy some new clips.

.@LAGovJeffLandry says Louisiana isn't as dependent on New Orleans for economic success as it once was.

“New Orleans thinks they're so special,” Landry said. “That parish is going to operate exactly like the rest of this state." #lalege

There's campaign to vote down the constitutional amendments on Louisiana's ballot in protest of @LAGovJeffLandry.

But that would likely mean a pay cut for school teachers. Cameron Henry says lawmakers won't entertain another teacher pay stipend. #lalege

Part one of an investigation @ByPiperHutch
"Four years ago, LSU promised Title IX reform. Employees allege the system isn’t fixed. They allege a hostile work environment impedes investigations."

Four years ago, LSU promised Title IX reform. Employees allege the system isn’t fixed. They allege a hostile work environment impedes investigations. This is part one of a series on Title IX at #LSU four years after a national scandal #lalege #lagov #laed

It took years for federal money to reach Grafton, Illinois, after major Mississippi River flooding impacted the community. Some hope a new insurance model can speed the process. Collaboration with @TheLensNOLA and @stlpublicradio: https://t.co/I4Q19chiBz

Federal disaster funding can take weeks, months or even years to pay out. A new insurance pilot coming to the Mississippi River Basin aims to help communities recover more quickly after flooding. @TheLensNOLA @agwaterdesk @stlpublicradio @Report4America

A central part of Gov. Jeff Landry’s plan to revamp the state’s tax code has stalled. Some lawmakers have said a bill that would expand the sales tax to several services and labor is dead in its current form, @WesleySMuller reports: https://t.co/qpsOMQoRHd #lalege

A decommissioned oil rig site off Grand Isle offers a new shallow-water template for the Louisiana Rigs-to-Reef program. Where rigs once stood, the 3D-printed "Cajun Coral" concrete could create bustling coastal reefs. @TheLensNOLA @Report4America https://t.co/3Dj70tem0Q
