Who attacked an ICU nurse? And more fallout in Ronald Greene case

By Bob Warren


Nurse attack: An ICU nurse was attacked by the friend of a patient Thursday at a west bank hospital. This morning the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office put out a picture of the alleged attacker. Still no name or motive, at least not one that’s been shared with the public.


Ronald Greene fallout: The questions continue continue in the death of Ronald Greene. Today, House Speaker Clay Schexnayder said the Legislature should “seek the truth” in any alleged coverup involving Gov. John Bel Edwards. This comes in the wake of a recent Associated Press story probed the governor’s actions following Greene’s death after a struggle with State Police troopers. Here’s the latest on this developing story.


Windfall? A recent study by a clean energy group says thousands of jobs could be created by two windfarms that want to set up in the Gulf of Mexico off the Louisiana and Texas coasts. Could jobs created by windfarms help offset those lost in the oil and gas industry?


Bal masks: Who doesn’t love a good quote? Keith Spera caught up with Mardi Gras guru Arthur Hardy to talk about the realities of enforcing the city’s vaccine requirement for float riders and social distancing efforts at balls. He came away with these gems. “Can you imagine the queen of Proteus having to wear a mask on the ballroom floor? Debutantes, on the biggest night of their life, wearing an N95 mask? I don’t think that will happen." Priceless.

Meanwhile, the season is revving up. So here's a little parade coverage to whet those appetites.


Hope you enjoyed Lunch Line today. Thanks for taking a break with us.
