Summary
This hour, Newell shares his thoughts on Louisiana Republican State Senator Jay Morris facing ethics scrutiny over real estate transactions adjacent to Meta's Hyperion data center in Richland Parish, amid a broader controversy regarding Non-Disclosure Agreements signed by elected state officials. Then, Gordon Dove, Chairman of the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, joins the show to break down the clash between researchers and state officials over levees, wetlands, climate projections, and whether coastal retreat is really inevitable for southeast Louisiana.
