Louisiana House OKs Public Service split into five districts
The Louisiana House approved a plan to reapportion the Public Service Commission into five single member districts by a 63 28 vote despite Jefferson Parish objections. The bill expands the PSC from three to five members and moves districts to cover areas including Caddo Bossier Ouachita and Orleans Jefferson parishes. The governor is expected to sign.

Ouachita Parish reapportionment bill advances in Louisiana House
Ouachita Parish voters would face an August 1 referendum on widening the police jury from six to not less than 10 or more than 12 members. The bill, sponsored by Speaker E L Henry, faces opposition who call the move a local matter for residents to decide.
