Looks who’s coming: Mardi Gras is still weeks off, but it’s not too early to start roughing out your Jazz Fest plans. Here’s the talent roster, hot off the presses and impressive as always. (And, we know you’re also interested in this year’s poster. Here’s a sneak peek.) Another Republican jumps in: Set another place at the dinner party. Another Republican candidate announced today they’re jumping into what could become a crowded race for governor this fall, Sam Karlin reports. Failing water systems: Louisiana has a new way to grade the quality of the systems that supply water to the state’s residents. Some of the grades? Yikes! Faimon Roberts has the ugly details. Happy 105th: The country’s oldest living Pearl Harbor attack survivor marked his 105th trip around the sun this week. Brett Duke has these terrific photos from the event at the National World War II Museum. Need weekend plans? Hey, the weekend is here, so it's time get busy.
