By KELLY P. KISSEL | Metro editor Gov. John Bel Edwards has summoned lawmakers back to Baton Rouge so they can take a second crack at the state's congressional district map. A federal judge says one approved this year shortchanged Louisiana's Black residents. If it seems like legislators just left, you are correct. The regular session ended Monday. A Walker man is accused of leaving two profanity-laced threats on a Florida congresswoman's voicemail. Investigators didn't say why the threat was made, but they quoted extensively from it. We needed 35 asterisks to tone down quotes in the affidavit. Updated odds are out for which team should win the College World Series. Sure, LSU isn't among the teams listed, but it is interesting how games in the Regionals shifted things around (to a point). |
