Redistricting Firestorm: Louisiana lawmakers are rushing a new congressional map after the Supreme Court struck down the old one, and a Senate committee approved a 5-1 plan early Wednesday that would eliminate one majority-Black district—setting up another high-stakes fight over race, representation, and whether the state even needs to redo elections. Local Power Struggle: New Orleans Civil District Court Clerk Chelsey Napoleon Richard is suing city officials over the elimination of her position after the clerk’s offices were merged and an interim clerk was appointed. Public Safety & Community: Baton Rouge city-parish workers are set for their first pay raises in years after the Metro Council approved an $8 million salary increase plan. Church Oversight: The Vatican authorized an investigation into Baton Rouge Bishop Michael Duca’s handling of a complaint involving a priest accused of sexual misconduct.
