What does the weather hold in store this weekend? It depends on where in the state you’re in. State Climatologist Jay Grymes says those in Southeast Louisiana could be in for a wet end to the weekend.
Cut 9 (11) “…along the coast.”
However, for those of you north of the I-12 corridor, Grymes says you’ll be lucky to see any rain in the next seven days.
Those of you who have Farm Bureau auto insurance could be in for a decrease in your premiums when your policy is up for renewal. Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple has approved its request for a nearly 12-percent rate decrease, effective the first of the year. Temple says it’s in part a direct result of the work of the legislature earlier this year.
Cut 3 (11) “…the 2025 session.”
Congressman Cleo Fields is facing allegations of insider trading. The news website NOTUS reports the Democrat bought a large amount of Oracle stock days before President Trump signed an executive order that gave the technology giant a leading role in TikTok’s pending U.S. spinoff from a Chinese company. Fields denies he had any inside knowledge.
Fields is a member of the Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets, which oversees the financial markets and securities industry. NOTUS says it’s unclear what, if anything, Fields knew about Oracle’s involvement in the TikTok deal, or whether Fields initiated the trade himself or if a financial adviser did so on his behalf.
