Trump’s Metairie fundraiser: His legal problems notwithstanding, former President Donald Trump will be in Metairie later this month for a campaign fundraiser. Attendees will be on the hook for $23,200 each, politics reporter Tyler Bridges writes. Bridge closed: It’s been more than a year since the bridge on U.S. 90 over the West Pearl River near the Louisiana-Mississippi line was shut down. That stretch of U.S. 90 comes into play for evacuations or when I-10 is snarled, which is, well, fairly often. Now, a couple of north shore lawmakers want Gov. John Bel Edwards to speed the reopening. What now for Kamara? Saints star Alvin Kamara has settled his court cases stemming from accusations that he was involved in a beating outside a Las Vegas nightclub in 2022. Now the NFL is expected to weigh in. Is a suspension coming? Columnist Jeff Duncan tries to sort it out. LadyBEAST wins one: A New Orleans performer who goes by the name "LadyBEAST" recently ran afoul of a neighbor due to the 20-foot-tall trapeze (yes, you read that correctly) in her yard. The resident noted the neighborhood was not a circus. A city board weighed in on the dispute this week, Doug MacCash reports. Thanks for spending some time with us today.
