Good morning and thanks for joining us. Here's a look at some of our top headlines. Trump in New Orleans: Former President Donald Trump paid a quick visit to New Orleans on Monday, raising millions of dollars for his presidential campaign while rubbing elbows with some of his wealthiest Louisiana supporters at the Uptown home of business owner Boysie Bollinger. Tyler Bridges has more from the private event and the demonstrations that happened nearby. Wetlands assimilation: About a dozen wastewater treatment plants in the state rely on a somewhat unique-to-Louisiana method called “wetlands assimilation," during which wastewater containing high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus — plant food, essentially — is discharged into nearby swamps with the goal of promoting growth. But not everyone is convinced the process is helping impacted ecosystems. Alex Lubben explains why. Ten Commandments: A group of Louisiana parents of various faiths filed a federal lawsuit Monday challenging Louisiana’s new law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments. Patrick Wall has the details from the lawsuit and why it could have far-reaching implications for students’ rights and religious freedom. We've got plenty more news, entertainment and sports from The Times-Picayune here. Thanks for reading. Kasey |
