By Chad Calder Veni, viti, veto: Republican legislators are poised to make history by returning to Baton Rouge to override a governor's veto, cheered on by a Monday rally on the Capitol steps. Now they've just got to figure out which vetoes to override and just how, precisely, one does such a thing. Turns out doing the unprecedented involves tending to a lot of details no one has sorted out yet. Delta and the defiant: The state Health Department reported that 711 patients were hospitalized with COVID-19 as of Monday afternoon, the highest number since mid-February, as the delta variant of the coronavirus surges among unvaccinated Louisianans. Budget battle: New Orleans is expected to receive $388 million in federal coronavirus aid, and some council members don't see eye-to-eye with Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s administration on how to go about spending the money. Sisters reunited: Yana and Sveta Fielkow were adopted from two Ukrainian orphanages 15 years ago, and their years-long search to find and make contact with the two sisters they left behind recently came to a close. We've got their story here. It's raining, again: Would you believe New Orleans has almost had a typical year's worth of rain in just seven months? Probably, but we've got all the details you need to bore your friends, enthrall your parents or at least make a stranger regret that small talk about the weather. All this and much more in today’s Front Page. Thanks for starting your with us. CC |
