Louisiana Voice

Only two days remain in LouisianaVoice’s September fundraiser. I you have not invested in solid investigative journalism, please do so in the remaining hours of our drive.

Recently we have been examining the abuses and neglect of prisoners and the falsification of records by LaSalle Corrections of Ruston. We still have several stories to go on that series.

Meanwhile, there are other events that require our attention. One is the curious efforts by Republicans in the Louisiana Legislature to call a special session with the intent of combating Gov. John Bel Edwards and his efforts to control the coronavirus in this state.

What’s curious about that? Well, for one, Louisiana is one of the few states where the incidents of infection have actually decreased. Yet, Republican legislators want to reverse the precautionary measures taken by the governor. Perhaps they should take a look at Florida where that governor has opened up the state and as a result, the state has the highest infection rate in the nation.

We’re also beginning to examine financial transactions at the St. Tammany Parish School Board and water quality in north Louisiana.

So, as you can see, we’re busy and we need your support. LouisianaVoice is a 501(C)(3) non-profit entity so you can make a tax-deductible contribution by credit card by clicking on the yellow DONATE button in the column to the right of this post. It looks like this:
