AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Tourism Push: Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser says Louisiana’s tourism office will launch “Follow Me to Louisiana” later this year, turning traveling residents into ambassadors with a custom backpack and T-shirt, plus a longer outdoor cleanup effort partnering with fishers, shrimpers, and groups like Ducks Unlimited and CCA. Public Safety & Travel Impact: Gov. Jeff Landry urged New Orleans leaders to take responsibility as the National Guard’s French Quarter deployment ends Monday, after crime commission officials credited the Guard with helping drive a sharp drop in violent crime. Local Tech Oversight: Louisiana police say they paused coverage of FLOCK license-plate cameras after a Missouri county suspended the system over employee misuse, raising privacy and audit questions. Big Money for the State: Louisiana announced $160 billion in new capital investment over two and a half years, tied to 16,000 direct jobs and 100,000 total opportunities. Road & Weekend Planning: LA DOTD scheduled an overnight eastbound lane closure on the Shreveport-Barksdale Bridge (LA 3032) Aug. 25 for bridge-deck evaluation. Food & Culture: New Orleans’ Acamaya was named Louisiana’s top Mexican spot in a New York Times state-by-state ranking, spotlighting the Bywater restaurant’s Mexico City–Gulf–NOLA mix. Outdoor Health Watch: Gulf Coast officials warned about Vibrio vulnificus risks during hot weather, especially for people with open wounds or who eat raw/undercooked shellfish.
