The piece discusses a controversial push for Judge Land to be appointed to the Louisiana Supreme Court by Governor Foster, amid competing petitions and political pressure. It cites the Progress in Tikewine and Blanchard supporters, questions Gov. Foster’s motives, and notes regional sentiment, while touching on agricultural conditions and crop impacts in the area.
