Chamber Starts Movement For Swimming Pool In West Monroe
The West Monroe Chamber of Commerce launches a private funding plan to build a city pool without tax money, modeled on Tallulah’s project. A new Interclub Swimming Pool committee will form at Friday’s First National Bank meeting, with donations and a private membership–funded model to maintain the facility. City Council members Wylie and DeLoach attend, endorsing recreation support but not delaying public programs.

Senate bound milk price bill faces opposition in Louisiana
Louisiana lawmakers sent Rep. Lantz Womack’s controversial bill to create a seven member state milk price commission to regulate retail milk prices to the Senate. The measure, likely to raise milk prices especially in the New Orleans area, passed the House 64 to 34 after a volatile debate, with several supporters flipping votes. Opponents accused processing firms of pressuring lawmakers as costs for parents could rise. Additional actions included scrapping the literacy test for voters in favor of a government and citizenship quiz, amid federal pressure over voting access.
