Boot Up Louisiana! Or, perhaps, Re-Boot Up Louisiana! Will Wade is returning to LSU to lead the men’s basketball program again. Jeff Palermo has the story.
Cut 1 (34) “…I’m Jeff Palermo.”
But wait, there’s more! ULM introduces Ryan Cross as its new men’s basketball coach. Cross says the ULM program is one that he has personal sweat equity invested.
The Senate Governmental Affairs Committee kills a resolution that would have required those running for Congress to live in the district they’re running in. It was brought up for debate by Monroe Senator Stewart Cathey.
Cut 9 (12) “…not necessarily wanted.”
Cathey had announced his candidacy for the fifth congressional district but dropped out after President Trump endorsed Blake Miguez, who lives in New Iberia, which is quite a distance from the district’s boundaries and who his resolution was aimed at. While Cathey pointed out that state legislators need to live in the district they represent, Houma Senator Mike Fesi says the rules are different for U.S. representatives.
The committee reported the resolution without action, which technically kills the measure for the session.
