Episode Synopsis

Gov. Jeff Landry has floated the idea of a state takeover of the New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board. Hy and Christopher remind the audience that it IS a Louisiana state agency after all, but why isn’t there more local opposition?  We explain.In our breaking story segment, we unveil the discussions about a possible deal—where a “property service fee” might take the place of the current property tax millage.  Such a swap would mean homeowners pay less but tjhe S&WB raises more money!  How, you ask?  Tulane University, the Feds, and the Catholic Church pay up, of course.Also, we visit with Swine Krewe (www.swinekrewe.org) and the upcoming Hogs for the Cause.And then finally, in celebration of Saint Joseph’s Day (besides talking about the altars) Hy and Christopher recount the story of Santa Fe’s Loretto Chapel—and a miracle which may be scientifically proven?
