Jeff Landry sued me in 2021 over a public records request about sexual harassment in the AG's criminal division. We won in court & got the records.
Today, a committee passed a bill with his support that would gut Louisiana's public records law.

Really important day at for public records.
Under these proposed bills, the public would have significantly less access to information about how elected officials in Louisiana are behaving. These sort of records have led to crucial public service journalism in the past.

Our story for Monday’s
CBS Mornings show came from Gail, who wrote to me: “I love your segments and often have a lump in my throat at the end of them…”; then, she gave me a story idea. It led me to Boston because of this picture & the back story. Hear it Monday at 8am on CBS💛

I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.

-Mark Twain

Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge.

Let me tell you about Lyn! She is proof that we are not defined by our mistakes. Mistakes make us relatable. Our mistakes have the power to mold us into better beings.
