West Monroe asks city attorneys to stay 90 days
West Monroe mayor-elect Bert Hatten said the new city council will ask Charles Traylor and Charles Joiner to remain for a 90 day coordination period to ensure continuity. Traylor will be assistant district attorney but may continue serving during the period. The council believes the extension will bridge administrations as routine matters are addressed. Daily briefings between Hatten and outgoing Mayor Norris continue amid planning for July 1 transition.

Group Approves Bigger Shares Of Tobacco Tax
The Senate Finance Committee backed a bill to grant cities a 20 percent larger share of Louisiana's tobacco tax. The House had passed the measure with an amendment requiring part of the funds to raise firemen and police salaries by $50 monthly. Senator Jamar Adcock opposed the bill, warning state revenue loss could force a veto if enacted, while supporting the fireman and police pay amendment from Senator George Ray Lee.

McKeithen Says Toll Road Should Not Be Major Issue
Baton Rouge politics heap pressure on the Shreveport to New Orleans toll road as Governor McKeithen rejects it as a life or death issue. Rep. Taylor O’Hearn and allies push the project while House opposition grows with amendments to audit Expressway Authority records and keep tolls until bonds are paid. The debate frames the toll road as a ballot question with potential constitutional action and statewide funding implications.
