Bill Cassidy in Lafayette: 'Invest in our U.S. economy'

by Adam Daigle | Acadiana business editor​ ​ ​

Happy Friday, Acadiana business news readers. Let's get to the headlines.

In a whirlwind trip to Lafayette, U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy on Thursday expressed his concerns and shared favored remedies for Louisianians who are starting their work lives and for retirees who may face challenges with their Social Security funds.

Speaking to the Lafayette Rotary at lunch and later to students and academic leaders at South Louisiana Community College, Cassidy talked about both the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which he supported in a bipartisan congressional effort, as well as a looming Society Security threat.

Check out the story here. 

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend.
