Seventh heaven: The LSU baseball team captured its seventh College World Series championship Monday, thumping the Florida Gators 18-4. You'll find all our coverage here.
A setback for Landry's bid to quash second majority-Black district: The U.S. Supreme Court refused to take up Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry's challenge to the state's new congressional maps, a move that brings Louisiana closer to having a second majority-Black congressional district. Sam Karlin has the details.
Stepping down: Tyrell Morris, the head of the city's 911 emergency system, announced he's resigning to take care of his health and pursue a doctoral degree. What he did not mention is that the New Orleans City Council has learned he got into a car accident in his taxpayer-provided vehicle, failed to submit to a required drug and alcohol screening and later allegedly altered the official policy to make it look like he didn’t need to be screened. David Hammer of WWL-TV has this report.
Permitting under scrutiny: City Council member Freddie King is back with another proposal, but this time there's more agreement on the underlying problem: the costliness and complexity of the city's permitting system. King has put together a task force to study the problem, but there is one wrinkle: Mayor LaToya Cantrell's administration already has a study underway. Anthony McAuley and Sophie Kasakove have the details.
