AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoAG Showdown in New Orleans: Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill was indicted by an Orleans Parish grand jury on 16 felony counts—8 for malfeasance in office and 8 for public intimidation—stemming from letters she sent to Mayor Helena Moreno, DA Jason Williams, and city council members during a fight over changes to local court clerk positions; Gov. Jeff Landry immediately pledged to pardon her if she’s found guilty, while Murrill called the case retaliatory and filed for an emergency stay. Local Infrastructure: Lafayette leaders and state officials signed a key environmental document for the long-delayed I-49 Connector, clearing the way for roughly $80 million in federal grant applications for the first phase near the Lafayette Regional Airport interchange. Emissions Sticker Fallout: Louisiana ended inspection-sticker tickets, but Baton Rouge-area drivers still face a “gray area” over required emissions tests under federal rules, leaving local shops waiting on clear state guidance. Federal Courts on Immigration: A Fifth Circuit appeals court ruled ICE can’t detain immigrants for more than 90 days without a bond hearing opportunity, a decision that could affect cases in Louisiana. Public Safety/Justice: News 15 reported the Diocese of Lafayette has hired a bankruptcy attorney tied to other Catholic bankruptcy filings as clergy abuse litigation continues.
