Super security costs: Gov. Jeff Landry’s administration will ask the feds for $50 million to help cover the costs of securing the Super Bowl in New Orleans last month. Those costs include a temporary homeless shelter set up in the city, Sophie Kasakove reports. Luxury malls: We’ve heard a lot about the death of shopping malls. But as Stephanie Riegel reports, some in our region are thriving. Public money, private schools: A new state program that makes tax dollars available for private school tuition is proving popular. Patrick Wall reports that nearly 14,000 eligible families have signed up so far, with more likely to come. Will everyone get in? Derek Carr’s contract: The Saints made a big splash over the weekend when news broke that the team had restructured QB Derek Carr’s big contract. Beat writer Matthew Paras takes a deeper look.
