AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

U.S. Supreme Court Gun Rights: In a 9-0 ruling, the court barred the federal government from using the 1968 Gun Control Act to strip gun rights from “casual” drug users, siding with Texas marijuana user Ali Hemani and making it harder to prosecute people based on drug use alone. Storm Impacts in New Orleans: Tropical Storm Arthur’s bands brought early flooding and power outages across Southeast Louisiana; New Orleans officials reported tree damage and brief Sewerage and Water Board issues, while residents prepared for more rain and downed lines. Flooding and Possible Tornado Damage: Jefferson Parish reported at least one injury tied to a suspected tornado, plus damage including cars derailed near Metairie and structural damage from high winds. Local Legal Fight Over LSU Taxes: Attorney William Most says a lawsuit over the LSU Economic Development District is really about “no taxation without representation,” challenging how the tax districts were created and whether voters were properly informed. Public Safety vs. Privacy: Kansas City is moving ahead with facial recognition on some public buses to flag banned riders or missing persons, drawing sharp debate over security benefits and privacy costs. Community & Culture: Juneteenth events continue across Louisiana, including local celebrations and scholarship-focused festivities in Lake Charles. Sports/LSU: LSU coach Lane Kiffin says he stepped away from social media for a “detox” after a challenge from his son.
