Cut 4 (09) “…LSU home games.”

The tiger is coming in from Florida and is owned by a man named Mitchel Kalmanson, who according to PETA has been cited by the Department of Agriculture more than three-dozen times for various violations since 2000. Kalmanson had no comment when we reached out to him, and multiple attempts to reach LSU have been unsuccessful.

Cut 14 (10) “…job of governing.”

The Louisiana Policy Institute for Children’s Parent Poll for 2024 is live.  Sena Richardson has more.

Cut 3 (33) “…I’m Sean Richardson.”

In a statement, State Attorney General Liz Murrill expressed her disgust over the text messages and said she has directed the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation to investigate where the texts are coming from. The FBI is also investigating.
