Senate Votes Down Bill On River Pilots
The Louisiana Senate rejected a bill to create a maritime commission to fix port and river pilot fees by a 15 to 22 vote. Senator Laurance Eustis of New Orleans pushed the measure, which sought to remove the legislature from setting pilot fees amid past hearings about money spent to influence key legislation. The session also covered reapportionment and the giant general appropriations bill advancing to the Senate Finance Committee, with two weeks left to craft a plan.
