LNG Boom in Cameron Parish: Gov. Jeff Landry and Caturus just announced Final Investment Decision for the $13B Commonwealth LNG project, pushing Louisiana’s two-year industrial investment total to $107B and setting up about $3B a year in export revenue when it starts up around 2030. Abortion Pill Fight (For Now): The U.S. Supreme Court kept mifepristone accessible via telehealth and mail while Louisiana’s challenge to FDA rules plays out—another pause in a case that’s already reshaped access nationwide. Opioid Settlement Money: Louisiana is set to receive $27M from the opioid settlement, adding to the state’s ongoing cleanup and prevention efforts. Courthouse Shake-Up in New Orleans: A judge recused himself in the criminal case against former Orleans Sheriff Susan Hutson, delaying the proceedings amid a tense courtroom scene. Local Business Pressure: Bossier City apartment owners are petitioning the state to overturn public works and EMS fees they say are illegal taxes. Energy Prices Watch: Oil and gas pricing stayed in focus as crude hovered near $100 and AAA reported the national gas average at about $4.53.
