AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Teacher Pay Fight: Gov. Jeff Landry says he’ll address the future of teacher pay after the 2026 budget left out up to $2,000 stipends, promising an executive-order mechanism to redirect funds into a permanent raise—while insisting it won’t cut school funding or raise taxes. Capitol Wrap-Up: Louisiana’s 2026 Regular Session ended after lawmakers pushed through a new congressional map tied to the U.S. Supreme Court’s Callais decision, plus major Orleans Parish judicial changes; about 400 bills were signed, but teacher stipends remain unresolved. Local Government & Voting Rights: Louisiana AG Liz Murrill met with mayors in Morgan City, discussing how Callais could affect local districting and fielding concerns about bot-driven public records requests and costly legal-ad publication rules. Anti-Litter Crackdown: A new Louisiana law (Act 196) bans intentional outdoor balloon releases and treats planned releases as littering, with exemptions for certain uses and biodegradable or scientific balloons. Elder Fraud Warning: Louisiana Blue is urging seniors to watch for Medicare fraud during Medicare Fraud Prevention Week, stressing urgency scams and personal-information traps. Coastal Resilience Push: H&B Young Foundation awarded $100,000 to St. Mary Excel for the Atchafalaya River Coastal Hub in Morgan City. Gulf Beach Threat: Sargassum seaweed blooms are expected to worsen along Gulf Coast beaches, threatening tourism and cleanup costs.
