AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Boating Safety & Water Hazards: A boater died after striking an object beneath the recently reopened Chef Pass Bridge in New Orleans area waters, prompting renewed calls for caution as Memorial Day storms roll in. Outdoors Calendar: LDWF and local groups are still lining up fishing and fly-tying meetups across the state, even as rain and rougher coastal conditions are limiting trips. Wildlife & Public Health: Louisiana is investigating after three Canada geese were shot in Baton Rouge, while health officials warn flea-borne typhus is spiking in Acadiana—17 cases since 2025 with hospitalizations and two deaths. Energy & Environment: In New Mexico, public groups are pushing back on a recommended approval of a $1.25B gas utility sale to a Louisiana private equity firm, arguing emissions and ratepayer safeguards were shortchanged. Community Pressure: Hyundai’s proposed steel mill faces fresh demands from local environmental and civil rights groups over toxic dust protections.
