A yuck warning, Elsa weak but fast, bar wars
By Drew Broach | Deputy metro editorYUCK WARNING: Off to the beach this summer? First check for fecal coliform warnings. More than 80% of Gulf Coast beaches that recently underwent water testing were found to have potentially unsafe levels of fecal bacteria. WEAK BUT FAST: Elsa, downgraded from hurricane to tropical storm, sped toward the Caribbean Sea on Saturday as weather forecasters predicted further weakening en route to the Florida Gulf Coast. BAR WARS: Louisiana lawyers could soon be freed from mandatory membership in the State Bar Association, after a pair of federal court rulings that threaten to weaken the group's influence at the state Capitol. All this and much more are in today’s Front Page and on NOLA.com. Celebrate the Fourth of July. D.B. |
