Good morning and thanks for joining us. Here are some of today's top headlines.

James Finn has the story. Justice delayed: It's been three years since Baton Rouge nursing home owner Bob Dean sent 843 elderly residents to suffer through inhuman conditions at a warehouse after Hurricane Ida. So why have so few of them been paid the settlements they are owed. John Simerman has the details. Check back for more news, entertainment and sports from The Times-Picayune. Chad |
