Legislation to require public libraries to limit children’s access to certain materials cleared a House committee Tuesday. Louisiana Association of School Librarians President Amanda Jones says child safeguards are already in place at virtually ALL libraries, and she says people are using libraries and librarians as political pawns…:
The bill has also been accused of seeking to ban books; a claim refuted by A.G. Jeff Landry as not true…:
Cut 7 (13) “…appropriate shelves.”
By an 8-to-3 vote, the committee approves the bill. The measure has already passed in the Senate. It moves now to House floor debate and possible final passage.
A 29-year-old Deville woman has been arrested on rape, human trafficking, and sexual battery charges. Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office Spokesperson Tommy Carnline says they began their investigation into Danielle Sober Trapp in early April in reference to criminal sexual conduct….
Cut 8 (10) “…was investigating.”
Detectives were able to uncover more alleged crimes and warrants. Carnline says Trapp was re-arrested a second time on outstanding warrants on April 28. The investigation is ongoing.
The House approves a bill that would allow people 18 years of age and older who are not felons to conceal carry a firearm without a permit or training in a 70 to 29 vote. Oil City Republican Representative Danny McCormick says this is the Second Amendment right of every citizen.
Twenty-seven other states already have similar laws in effect.
