with Kelly P. Kissel | Metro editorWe appreciate your starting your workweek with us. Here's what's going on. The Louisiana Department of Health has new coronavirus numbers out this morning. Hospitalizations continue to climb, as do the number of new cases. We keep a running tally here. The Metro Council for East Baton Rouge wants something done about drag racing. Law enforcement officers say that, as of late, things have gotten out of control. Proposed new rules would let police impound vehicles used in the races, as Terry Jones explains. And here's some proof that politics does make strange bedfellows. Republicans have been critical of Sen. Bill Cassidy, while Democrats have been praising him of late. Cassidy is working on a bi-partisan panel in Washington, and he voted against the wishes of the former president. |
