BY MATTHEW ALBRIGHT | Staff writer The Supreme Court has issued another huge ruling for Louisiana. On a 6-3 vote, the court blocked a lower court's ruling that the congressional voting maps the legislature approved violate the Voting Rights Act by not creating a second majority-Black district. It's not a ruling on the merits of the case, but it does make it almost certain that the map the Legislature approved is the one that will be used for this November's elections. Meanwhile, the state is still grappling with the effects of the Court's ruling last week overturning Roe v. Wade. Louisiana had a "trigger law" that meant abortions became illegal immediately after the ruling, but a legal challenge to that law has created a brief window in which abortion is still legal. Here's what that means for the handful of clinics still open in Louisiana. Parts of Livingston Parish are growing like crazy, particularly the parts near suburban Baton Rouge. Residents are getting increasingly anxious about what all the new cars will do to traffic, and what all the new concrete and houses will do to flooding. A big fight over a proposed 2,000-lot subdivision shows just how intense the feelings over these issues are getting. |
