Good morning and thanks for starting your week with us. Here's a look at some of our top headlines. Withholding records: A review of Jeff Landry’s first five months as governor shows that in nearly a quarter of all public records requests his office fielded, his attorneys withheld records by citing deliberative process or executive privilege. “I can’t see the legal justification for it,” said Steven Procopio, president of Louisiana’s nonpartisan Public Affairs Research Center. Andrea Gallo has the details. Kirkpatrick crash: NOPD Chief Anne Kirkpatrick was on duty when she hit two pedestrians in the French Quarter with her police cruiser Saturday evening, police said on Sunday. Here's what we know so far about the collision that put one woman in a hospital. Mondo's time: Lafayette native Mondo Duplantis likes to think of himself as a regular 24-year-old who golfs with his buddies, makes a bee-line for Raising Cane’s every time he flies home, and follows LSU football as best he can. But Duplantis is also the best pole vaulter in the world, and on Monday, it's his time to shine at the 2024 Olympics. Scott Rabalais caught up with Duplantis in Paris. We've got plenty more news, entertainment and sports from The Times-Picayune here. Thanks for reading. Kasey |
