Campaign finance: With $9 million at his disposal, Jeff Landry continues to outraise his opponents in the governor's race, Tyler Bridges reports. Meanwhile, Liz Murrill is the big fundraiser in the race to replace Landry as attorney general. Crime prevention: Fentanyl lab operators and drive-by shooters would get harsher prison sentences under bills that cleared a state Senate committee Tuesday, James Finn reports. The proposals are part of a broader push by some lawmakers to crack down on crime in Louisiana. Ezekiel's law: The full Senate will also consider a bill to require law enforcement and child welfare officials to meet regularly to discuss child abuse prevention, Finn reports. The bill is aimed at preventing deaths such as that of 2-year-old Ezekiel Harry, whose body was found in a trash can in Houma last year. |
