More of today's top headlines
with Kelly P. Kissel | Metro editorGood morning. It's Sunday. There's a big paper out today. There's nothing like curling up on a chilly Sunday and reading the paper (even if you do it electronically here). Here are some of our top stories: THE WHEELS ON THE BUS GO ROUND AND ROUND: Paul Cobler and Blake Paterson take a look at the city bus system. Early voting started yesterday on its new tax proposal, and while many are backing the tax, some say they'd like to see some service improvements. YOU TAKE THE HIGH ROAD AND I'LL TAKE THE LOW ROAD: And Gov. John Bel Edwards will be in Scotland afore me. The Louisiana governor is off to the U.N. climate talks. Here's our story. IT WAS A GRAVEYARD SMASH: Halloween is back. With the pandemic not as bad as it was this time last year, more people are expected to be out trick-or-treating or partying tonight. Tim Boone has details. Trick-or-treat safely tonight, and slow down if you're driving. |
