Couple Files Recall Petition Against Jindal

Will we be saying goodbye to Piyush? Maybe, if a Jefferson Parish couple have their way:

Ryan and Kourtney Fournier have submitted paperwork to the Secretary of State's office Friday that allows them to attempt to collect enough signatures over the next 180 days in an effort to get a recall election for the governor.

The Fourniers would have to collect and then have verified signatures from at least one-third of the registered voters in the state.

Securing City Contracts As Usual In New Orleans

Is this any different from the Morial Administration?

A City Council member has discovered that the Nagin administration gave a small contract to a company -- too small to need a Louisiana contractor's license -- then exponentially increased the company's take to more than $1 million.

1. falsely claimed it had a Louisiana contractor's license when it bid for the work.

2. used a "fraudulent" contractor's license number in an initial bid to install and operate the cameras.

When will the federal investigation begin?
