Good morning and thanks for joining us. Here's a look at some of our top headlines. French Quarter crackdown: Gov. Jeff Landry’s Troop NOLA has been making headlines recently with a string of car chases involving suspects who refused traffic stops or were wanted on outstanding warrants. Now, ahead of the July 4th weekend and the Essence Festival, it's turning its attention to quality-of-life violations in and around the French Quarter. Missy Wilkinson has the details. The state of the S&WB: Mayor LaToya Cantrell is reviving plans to highlight the deficiencies of the city's debilitated drainage infrastructure in the wake of the state's last-minute refusal to fund a key power complex. Ben Myers has the story. Cash Money brothers honored: Bryan Williams, better known as Birdman or Baby, and Ronald “Slim” Williams have made millions since launching Cash Money Records. On Wednesday, they came back to the Central City neighborhood where they grew up for an honorary street renaming. They weren't alone, and Keith Spera and Chris Granger were there to document the moment. We've got plenty more news, entertainment and sports from The Times-Picayune here. Thanks for reading. Chad |
