By KELLY P. KISSEL | Metro editor Here's more proof that Louisiana politics is a spectator sport. The head of the state's Division of Administration, Jay Dardenne, and the speaker of the Louisiana House, Clay Schexnayder, cannot agree on whether state taxpayers should pay the speaker's stepsons for work performed at the Pentagon Barracks. The stepsons aren't on the state's vendor list. Suddenly, Dardenne's budget is $3.3 million lighter. A graduation marred by gunfire. There was a troubling scene in Hammond late Thursday, as gunfire rang out at the end of the local high school's graduation ceremonies. Law enforcement officials promise updates today, so follow this link for the latest. Where are you on the great snake-hunting debate? Lake Providence is about to host another snake-killing day.

We hope you have a great weekend. https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/crime_police/article_450769ca-d84a-11ec-8902-5f2ea9c98440.html |
