A recent report released by the United States Department of Justice has accused the Louisiana State Police of using excessive force in their interactions with the public. Governor Jeff Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill have responded to these allegations, with Landry also making headlines for proposing a plan to round up homeless individuals in New Orleans ahead of the Superbowl.
In addition to the controversy surrounding law enforcement, Governor Landry has been pushing for more funding from Congress to support major infrastructure projects in the state. During a trip to Washington D.C., he also called for the removal of federal regulations to speed up construction efforts.
On a different note, Commissioner Tim Temple discusses how the recent wildfires in California could impact insurance rates in Louisiana. These topics and more can be found on This Week in Louisiana Politics, part of Your Local Election Headquarters.
