    Mayor Moreno Moves Past Drama | New Orleans News

    New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno is staying focused on the city’s needs despite mounting political tension with state officials. After Governor Jeff Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill publicly criticized her leadership—partly during a storm prep presser—the mayor has moved past the drama, emphasizing her commitment to progress. Meanwhile, charges against Murrill have been dropped, sparking a state call for a federal probe into the grand jury process. Analysts see this as a new phase of friction, but there are glimmers of cooperation: ongoing state-city partnerships in criminal justice and Moreno’s openness to future meetings with Landry. The mayor remains determined to keep New Orleans moving forward, even as political tensions simmer. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Gas Prices Surge Across Louisiana | New Orleans News

    Gas prices in Louisiana are soaring to levels last seen in summer 2022, with regular unleaded hitting $3.68 and diesel climbing to $4.93—forcing drivers to rethink trips and budgets as fuel costs eat into groceries and bills, while experts warn global oil tensions keep prices high, with relief possible only if international markets calm down.

    Grandmother Stabbed Grandson in New Orleans | New Orleans News

    A shocking domestic incident in New Orleans has sent shockwaves through the community: a 57-year-old grandmother, Dionne Minix, is facing aggravated battery charges after allegedly stabbing her own grandson multiple times in her home. According to police, Minix admitted to the attack, claiming she was angry and needed space, citing her grandson’s behavior as aggravating. The altercation reportedly occurred when the teen, unable to enter through the front door, went to his room via the back — prompting Minix to allegedly pull out a kitchen knife. Neighbors, however, paint a deeply contrasting portrait — describing Minix as a devoted, church-going caregiver who raised four of her grandchildren and called the teen “her heartbeat.” The grandson, who actually called police after the attack, now finds himself at the center of a legal storm, while Minix, released on $2,500 bond, must attend a domestic violence prevention class. Legal experts caution that while character may matter slightly, most people don’t commit crimes — and it’s the small percentage who do that end up in court. The case remains under active investigation as the community grapples with the unthinkable. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Retired Teachers Return to Classrooms | New Orleans News

    Louisiana’s rolling back the clock on retired teachers—Senate Bill 14 lets educators who retired by 2010 and are 65+ return to classrooms while still collecting a chunk of their pension. It’s a two-pronged win: tackling rural teacher shortages and bringing decades of classroom wisdom to mentor new teachers. Students get seasoned pros, schools get stability, and retirees get a paycheck plus purpose. The state’s watching closely, with a full review set for 2034.

    Meta's Data Center Could Save Louisiana Billions | New Orleans News

    Meta’s new Louisiana data center could save customers billions over two decades, according to Entergy — but only if Meta pays for massive grid upgrades. The utility argues the tech giant’s hefty energy bill will fund infrastructure and offset costs like storm recovery. Yet consumer advocates warn the savings hinge on optimistic assumptions and risk leaving other ratepayers stuck with expensive, long-term infrastructure if Meta exits after 15 years.

    Louisiana’s New Path to Workforce Ready | New Orleans News

    Louisiana’s community colleges are launching a bold new charter school model that lets high schoolers earn workforce skills or even an associate’s degree while still in school—connecting them directly to employers through apprenticeships and paid internships. The plan also tackles adult learners’ biggest hurdles like cost, childcare, and transportation, with expanded funding and new support services. Plus, they’re ramping up technical training for incarcerated individuals to ensure everyone leaves with a high school equivalency or marketable skill—reducing recidivism and opening doors to real careers. This is education reimagined: job-ready from day one. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
