BY MATTHEW ALBRIGHT | Staff writer Voters ousted incumbents in several big races in elections yesterday. On the East Baton Rouge School Board, Connie Bernard lost her seat, one of several incumbents on the board to lose this year. Here's a rundown of her race and the three others. Meanwhile, Davante Lewis defeated three-term Public Service Commissioner Lambert Boissiere III, in a race that could have major implications for Louisiana utility companies and power bills. Other races of interest: Hunter Greene was elected to the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, and voters handily approved taxes for the St. George fire department and East Baton Rouge sheriff.
Teddy's Juke Joint, the beloved Zachary blues venue, has received a nationally prestigious award. Here's what it means for a place with a lot of history and a lot of fans. |
