A Louisiana legislator filed a bill that would criminalize reckless throws from parade floats. Rep. Sylvia Taylor authored Bill #HB 397 that would punish Mardi Gras float riders who “knowingly or negligently” throw objects in a manner foreseeable to cause injury. Violators would face a $500 fine, and those who cause injury could be fined up to $1K and up to six (6) months in jail. And the fine & imprisonment increase to at least $2K and between (1) and (3) years in jail if the victim is seriously injured. Joe Piacun, personal injury attorney, joins Newell to talk about the proposed bill.

Jefferson Parish firefighters want pay raises, but negotiations stalled between the union and parish council representatives. The firefighters began picketing when the two parties couldn’t agree on how to fund the increases. Jefferson Parish Councilmember Deano Bonano joins Newell to talk about it.
