By KELLY P. KISSEL | State news editor Water bills are going up in Baton Rouge, effectively immediately. The water utility sent a letter to its customers blaming inflation and noting the development of an emergency fund. How much more will people have to pay for water? Prosecutors say they have enough evidence to proceed with rape-related charges against four men following the death of LSU student Madison Brooks.

Attorney General Jeff Landry is suggesting that there be some way for parents to limit what their children may access.

Landry says his effort is not about banning books or censoring voices, but rather keeping young people safe from material that's inappropriate for their age. |
