AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Energy Policy Standoff: A Louisiana Senate bill that would let big industrial users build private power grids and sell up to half their electricity appears to be stuck, with SB 490 awaiting a floor vote and lawmakers facing a June 1 session deadline. Utilities including Entergy and Cleco warn the plan would push costs onto residential customers. Local Life & Leisure: Lafayette’s pickleball scene keeps expanding, with a new guide listing confirmed courts across the city and Acadiana, from free lighted park play to indoor options. Sports & Talent Pipeline: LSU keeps reshaping its quarterback room, landing Middle Tennessee transfer Kaden Martin as Lane Kiffin’s first-season roster work continues. Public Services: Louisiana libraries now offer a “Check Out Louisiana State Parks” pass program, letting residents borrow day passes and gear through participating branches. Memorial Day Pressure: AAA reports record-high travel expectations as gas prices stay elevated, adding strain for Louisiana drivers heading into the holiday weekend.
