AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Consumer Protection: Louisiana’s new ban on debit card surcharges took effect Aug. 1, stopping retailers from passing those fees to shoppers—but critics warn the costs may still show up through higher prices since banks and card networks still charge merchants. Food Safety: Walmart recalled Marketside Tomato Bisque soup kits in 29 states, including Louisiana, over possible listeria contamination; separately, FDA upgraded a major shell-egg salmonella recall to Class I, affecting cartons sold across multiple states with sell-by dates now expiring soon. Energy & Costs: Reports say the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at record-low levels, raising concerns that ongoing withdrawals tied to the Iran conflict could damage storage caverns—while AAA shows gas prices remain elevated. Local Business Support: The Louisiana Small Business Development Center highlights its no-cost, parish-by-parish consulting and training for startups and established firms. Public Safety & Privacy: Flock Safety says it’s tightening license-plate reader retention and sharing controls amid growing backlash and contract pullbacks. Workforce/Tech Policy: The DNC approved competing ICE proposals—abolish vs. reform—underscoring political uncertainty ahead of midterms. Local News: New Orleans police say a teen died after falling inside the abandoned Plaza Tower during “urban exploring,” renewing scrutiny of unsecured properties.
