AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Land Fight Ignites: A draft bill backed by Sen. Bill Cassidy would transfer about 140,000 acres of Louisiana’s only national forest, Kisatchie, to Grant Parish—and residents are furious, saying they weren’t consulted and fear public access could shrink. Voting Rights Backlash: Across the country, the Supreme Court’s latest Voting Rights Act moves are still rippling—Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson warned the court risks looking partisan after it sped up a Louisiana-related decision. Local Politics Pressure: Louisiana voters also rejected a teacher-pay constitutional amendment, and Gov. Landry is now pushing back hard, while the GOP launches a counter-campaign against recall efforts. Public Safety: A major Greater Baton Rouge internet sex-crimes sweep ended with 60 registered sex offenders arrested. Everyday Life: In Acadiana, drivers are being warned that Louisiana law limits how far you can travel in a turning lane—about 200 feet.
