veto

Now that Governor Edwards has vetoed the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, which would prohibit transgender girls and women from participating in female sports, will we see a veto session?

The Shreveport City Council has voted to sustain Mayor Cedric Glover's veto last Friday of an ordinance passed by the council on the 9th.  That ordinance came about as the result of the council's raising AEP SWEPCO's franchise fee from 2-percent to 5-percent.  It set up a special revenue fund dedicated to street repairs.
