Mayor Cantrell Could Be on the Hook For Nearly $30k in Travel Upgrades
"My travel accommodations are a matter of safety, not of luxury. As all women know, our health and safety are often disregarded and we are left to navigate alone. As the mother of a young child whom I live for, I am going to protect myself by any reasonable means in order to ensure I am there to see her grow into the strong woman I am raising her to be. Anyone who wants to question how I protect myself just doesn’t understand the world black women walk in."

LOGA Responds to Permanent Injunction Issued on Biden Ban on New Oil And Gas Leasing
BATON ROUGE, LA (August 30, 2022) - Yesterday, U.S. District Court Judge Terry Doughty sided with Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and 12 other states in a Louisiana-led lawsuit, issuing a permanent injunction against the Biden administration’s moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal lands and water.
In response, LOGA President Mike Moncla issued the following statement:
“This ruling is a huge win for domestic energy production in the Gulf of Mexico. The Biden administration, from the day he was sworn in, has declared war on the oil and gas industry.
Prices at the pump have skyrocketed. Our Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been depleted. We’ve slowly become less and less energy independent. Now, we can get back to being the energy powerhouse of the world.
I’m relieved to see that our system of checks and balances saw to it that Biden way overstepped his authority when banning these lease sales.
I’d like to thank Attorney General Jeff Landry for his diligent work in fighting for domestic production in the Gulf of Mexico.”
Mark Zuckerberg reveals FBI prompted Facebook to suppress Hunter Biden laptop story
The Federal Bureau of Investigation told social media companies to brace for impending misinformation shortly before the publication of an accurate story about a discarded laptop belonging to President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed Thursday in an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan.
“Basically, the background here is the FBI, I think, basically came to us — some folks on our team and was like, ‘Hey, um, just so you know, like, you should be on high alert,’” Zuckerberg recalled to Rogan. “There was the — we thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. We have it on notice that basically there’s about to be some kind of dump of — that’s similar to that. So just be vigilant.’”

Louisiana wages went up from early 2021, but inflation made the increase nonexistent
The average weekly wage for Louisiana workers rose 8.6% from the first quarter of 2021 through the first quarter of 2022, according to newly released data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, but workers also experienced one of the worst 12-month periods for inflation over that same span.
Louisiana was tied for the 16th highest rate of U.S. states and significantly higher than the U.S. average of 6.7%, but due to inflation, Louisianans weren’t bringing home any extra cash.
Over that same period, from March 2021 to March 2022, consumer prices rose 8.5%, which was the largest increase over a 12-month period the nation had seen since December 1981. The 12-month inflation rate would increase to 8.6% and 9.1% in May and June, respectively.

AG Jeff Landry: Protecting Louisiana Horse Racing!
Jeff Landry is champion of Louisiana values. From his support of important bayou state industries like Oil & Gas to his love of Mardi gras, our Attorney General is committed to preserving our Louisiana way of life.
That’s why when Joe Biden swooped in and tried to regulate a Louisiana tradition like Horse Racing, Jeff Landry was quick to challenge him in court.
Just like he has throughout the entire Biden reign, Jeff took down another win against the Fed’s liberal overreach. He won a quick decision in court and a judge halted Biden’s new restrictive laws on the Louisiana Horse Racing Industry.
Landry explained the battle here:
"I am grateful Judge Doughty applied the law and blocked this federal overreach from devastating our state and the thousands of Louisianans in the horse industry here. Louisiana has not only regulated horseracing but also built an entire culture around it with the owners, trainers, jockeys, racetracks and patrons. ... The process of creating the law and its associated regulations showed a reckless disregard for the thousands of industry participants in Louisiana and a correspondingly reckless disregard for the impact to our state." - AG Jeff Landry
Like a thoroughbred storming out the gate, Jeff Landry is quick to defend our way of life and values. He is a true champion of Louisiana and we are proud to have him leading in Baton Rouge!
