Summary

This hour, Newell has on State Sen. Pat Connick (R–Marrero) to discuss his proposed legislation to separate the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority–East Police Department from the levee authority and place it under Louisiana State Police. Then, Newell opens the phone lines, and the WWL callers chime in on the SLFPA-E, Judge Leon Roche, and the levees breaking during Hurricane Katrina.
