A 9.4 billion dollar chemical manufacturing facility has been announced for St. James Parish. Matt Doyle has more.
15-year-old Seth Veillon was found dead by deputies in a mobile home Sunday in Paradis, and his mother is in critical condition. The child’s father is the suspected killer. Deputies found the boy, and his mother, both with multiple gunshot wounds. St. Charles Parish Sherriff’s spokesman Corporal James Grimaldi says could not resuscitate the boy.
Grimaldi says the boy’s father, Ed Veillon Jr. has been charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder.

Lunches for Catholic and other non-public school students are threatened because of the House passed budget last week. The proposal would gut the program by 53 percent. The program is called school lunch salary supplements and it helps finance cafeteria operations and the cost of meals.
