After a wet muggy close to the week, Louisiana is in for a beautiful weekend. Jonathan Brazzell with the National Weather Service says lows this weekend are expected to be in the mid-50s, and highs in the low 80s. He says it’ll be a great time to spend some time outdoors because it’s going to feel refreshing compared to what we’ve been seeing the past few months:
CUT 8 (06) “be cooler”

In somewhat of a surprise move, former Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover has qualified to run for his old District 4 seat in the Louisiana House of Representatives. He’s going up against educator Fred Moss IV and accountant Reginald Johnson. Political analyst Elliott Stonecipher says Glover has the highest name recognition by far…:
cut 12 (08) “take him on”
Glover, a Democrat, held the same spot in the House from 1996 to 2006 before he was elected Mayor of Shreveport.

An 80-year-old man tragically lost his life after he was run over by another vehicle while he was changing a tire on the side of the road in East Baton Rouge Parish. State Police spokesperson Bryan Lee says 47-year-old Haosheng Huang of Baton Rouge lost control of his vehicle in a curve and hit 80-year-old Lawrence Shepherd. Huang is not suspected of being impaired…:
CUT 14 (10) “charges will be pending”
Lee says police will be investigating why Huang lost control of his vehicle and they do anticipate charges will be filed.

Qualifying for the fall elections came to a close yesterday and nearly half of Louisiana’s state lawmakers are going back to the Capitol unopposed. 20 out of 39 senators and 49 out of 105 House members will not have anyone challenging them in the October primary.
