Libertarian think tank ranks Louisiana’s highway system 34th

SERVING: MATHEWS • GHEENS • LOCKPORT • VALENTINE • LAROSE CUT OFF • GALLIANO • GOLDEN MEADOW • LEEVILLE • GRAND ISLE

Lafourche candidates continue calls for unity, development

By David Jacobs The Center Square

Louisiana’s highway system is the 34th-best in the nation, based on a report released recently that includes measures of cost-effectiveness and condition.

According to the Reason Foundation, a libertarian think tank, Louisiana’s administrative costs per mile are the sixth-lowest in the nation. Louisiana’s overall spending per mile is 17th-lowest, and capital and bridge costs are 21st-lowest.

In safety and performance categories, Louisiana ranks 46th in overall fatality rate, 44th in structurally deficient bridges, 29th in traffic congestion, 49th in urban Interstate pavement condition, and 39th in rural Interstate pavement condition.

To improve in the rankings, Louisiana needs to upgrade its urban interstate pavement condition and reduce its structurally deficient bridges, overall fatality rate and urban fatality rate, said Baruch Feigenbaum, the report’s lead author. The state is in the bottom 10 in all four categories.

Report: Illegal immigration costs taxpayers $116 billion annually Californians, Texans, Floridians pay the most

By Bethany Blankley | The Center Square

A comprehensive report by the Federation for Immigration Reform (FAIR) breaks down the cost of illegal immigration to U.S. taxpayers: $115.9 billion annually.

Based on the most recent data reported in 2017, The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigrants examines the fiscal impact of illegal immigration in federal and state budgets. It also highlights which U.S. citizens pay the most: Californians, Texans and Floridians.

The estimated coast to California taxpayers for more than six million illegal immigrants and their children is more than $23 billion.

The estimated cost to Texans for the more than four million illegal immigrants and their children is nearly $11 billion.

The more than two million illegal immigrants and their children cost Florida taxpayers more than $6 billion.

The rest of the top 10 states reporting the highest cost to taxpayers are New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and Virginia.

“Illegal aliens are net consumers of taxpayer-funded services and the limited taxes paid by some segments of the illegal alien population are, in no way, significant enough to offset the growing financial burdens [they] impose on U.S. taxpayers,” the report states.

The report calculates taxpayer burden by adding total federal, state and local expenditures, and adding total federal, state and local taxes paid by illegal immigrants.

It relies on federal, state and local tax and resident demographics data, and outlines its proportional calculations and methodology.

Lafourche Parish presidential and council candidates Monday night repeated the same goals as many of the council members and parish presidents that have come before them: unity, drainage and economic development.

The forum, held at the Lafourche Parish Government Complex in Mathews, was hosted by the Lafourche and Thibodaux chambers of commerce.

All three parish president candidates attended the event to present their platforms. The candidates are: Archie Chaisson III, Thibodaux public works director and former parish administrator; Joe Fertitta, former parish councilman; and Luci Sposito, current councilwoman.

Unity All three emphasized the need for better communication between the parish president and the parish council in this next term.

“It’s not just one person that runs this parish, it’s 10,” Fertitta said.

“The parish president should be at the least ethical, and at the most, fierce,” Sposito said.

Chaisson proposed reinstating council committees to conduct more work off-camera and more efficiently to present the parish in a more professional manner.

“This is not about the current or previous administration, it’s about the candidates,” Chaisson said.

Economic Development For all of the candidates, tax reform would play a large part in promoting economic development and spurring new business.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Gov. John Bel Edwards promotes his Medicaid expansion program as a central re-election selling point, but the contracts that provide those health services are becoming an unwanted election-year complication that could mess up his story line.

Losing bidders for the next round of multibillion-dollar contracts to manage health services for Medicaid patients are accusing the Edwards administration of bias and conflicts of interest. Republican and Democratic lawmakers are worrying publicly about whether health care access will be disrupted for half a million Medicaid enrollees, many of whom are in Edwards’ expansion program.

The accusations and criticism come in the middle of an election season when the Democrat Edwards is fighting to win a second term against two major Republican opponents, U.S. Rep. Ralph Abraham and businessman Eddie Rispone, who are criticizing Edwards’ management of the government-financed Medicaid program.

The contracts pay for private companies to oversee care for about 90% of Louisiana’s Medicaid enrollees, an estimated 1.5 million people — mostly adults covered

by Medicaid expansion, pregnant women and children. The contracts are among the largest in state government, accounting for roughly onequarter of the state’s annual operating budget.

The Edwards administration chose four companies for new managed care deals slated to start in 2020. Five companies currently do the work

under contracts expiring at the end of this year.

Louisiana Healthcare Connections and Aetna Better Health have Medicaid managed care contracts with the state, but weren’t chosen for new deals. They filed protests, accusing the health department of improprieties.

More than 560,000 Medicaid recipients who receive coverage through Aetna and Louisiana Health Care Connections will have to transfer to new health plans if the contract awards are upheld, and several lawmakers have fretted about the logistics of accomplishing that by January.

In a letter to Edwards, Democratic U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond said Louisiana’s health department has had technology problems that would likely make it difficult to shift patients to new health plans without “at least some of these patients falling through the cracks for a time.”

Several lawmakers asked how Humana Health Benefit Plan of Louisiana, which hasn’t done Medicaid managed care work in the state but won a contract starting in 2020, will quickly ramp up a new health plan with a network of doctors, clinics and hospitals available to Medicaid patients.

The governor and his health department are defending the bid evaluation and contractor selection, saying it followed the detailed requirements laid out in Louisiana procurement law. Edwards told callers to his radio show last week that the process is working as it should.

“We anticipate that we’re going to be able to move forward without any interruption in services,” the governor said.

But his health de-

partment undermined that claim in paperwork filed with the state procurement office about the dispute over the contracts.

In a letter to Louisiana’s chief procurement officer, the health department warned that if the ongoing legal challenges cause delays in contract negotiations, that could “disrupt and jeopardize the provision of health care to more than 1 million of Louisiana’s most vulnerable citizens.”

The losing bidders for the new deals are claiming state law wasn’t followed in selecting the winning contractors.

Lawyers for Louisiana Healthcare Connections called the process “tainted with conflicts of interest and bias from the start.”

Attorneys for Aetna accused the health department of using a “biased and arbitrary scoring methodology.”

The companies argue the bid evaluation was skewed to benefit Humana. Louisiana Health Care Connections claims a health department official that helped in the contract award process even fell asleep during its oral presentation.

Because the Medicaid managed care deals are so lucrative, disputes over new contract awards seemed almost inevitable.

But the Edwards administration could have avoided such a high-profile dispute in the middle of an election cycle if it had sought new bids for the work before the existing contracts were slated to expire in December 2017. Instead, the health department urged lawmakers to extend the current deals for another 23 months, placing decisions about new contracts smack in the middle of campaign season. ___

Immigration From 1-A

For example, using a 2010 Social Security Administration report that estimated illegal immigrants paid a total of $13 billion into the fund annually, FAIR calculated by percentages of payments and dollar amounts paid that illegal immigrants also contributed $5.9 billion toward Medicare.

Its examination of federal budget money spent on illegal immigration was about $46 billion, with some state budgets spending an estimated $89 billion annually, FAIR calculates.

The annual bill of $135 billion equates to more than $8,000 per illegal immigrant and dependent, per year. While some illegal immigrants do pay certain taxes, the report states, many employers pay them lower wages, or in cash, and do not deduct their wages from payroll taxes, with most of their income unlikely being reported to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), FAIR states. Due to these varying factors, FAIR argues the federal, state and local governments are not collecting enough taxes from illegal immigrants to cover the costs of federal benefits they receive.

FAIR estimates that illegal immigrants pay nearly $19 billion in combined state, local, and federal taxes, or 14 percent of the amount spent annually on them.

FAIR now estimates that there are about 12.5 million illegal immigrants based on available data from the Department of Homeland Security, other federal and state government agencies, and research compiled by think tanks, universities and other research organizations.

The total national illegal immigrant estimate includes about 11 million adults of whom 350,000 receive Temporary Protective Status (mostly Central Americans), and 730,000 are DACA recipients.

The ten states with the largest estimated illegal alien populations account for nearly threefourths (73.7 percent) of the national total. They are Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Texas and Washington.

Candidates From 1-A

If elected, Chaisson said he would immediately support tax reform efforts by hiring an expert and open the parish’s checkbook for scrutiny and cuts where needed.

Sposito, a certified economic developer, emphasized her experience in the field, and said she would aggressively purse hiring a developer for the parish, and pursue state and federal funding.

Fertitta said the parish needs to hire a good grant writer and lobbyist to help Lafourche Parish capitalize on $28.5 million in state coastal restoration money.

The grant writer needs to be a separate position from economic development, Chaisson said, presenting his plan to study the parish’s land availability, employee potential and having a portfolio ready for potential investors.

All three candidates said they supported the state’s Industrial Tax Exemption Program.

Parish Council Most of the council candidates repeated the same goals: communication and transparency.

The contested candidates that attended tonight’s debate were: Jerry Jones and Earl Woods, District 1; William “T -Boo” Adams and Niles Riche, District 2; Jim Wendell and Albert Martin, District 5; Spence Cressionie and Corey Perrillioux, District 6; D’Lynn Boudreax, District 8; and Will Lasseigne and Daniel Lorraine, District 9.

Drainage was also the number one concern for those vying for a council seat.

A majority of those present rated it as their top concern, following improved communication between the council, administration and the people of the parish.

District 1 Jones and Woods distinguished themselves on issues of community engagement.

Woods made several references that the council representative should engage more with the public.

“We are the public servants, not them,” Woods said, later adding that “unselfishness” is what would bring the parish council and president together.

Jones emphasized his work to dedicate money to drainage projects in the area. With a new parish president and new staff, the council will be able to get more done in the next term, he said.

Both said the area needs a community center, which is how Jones said he envisioned the expansion of Hero’s Park.

District 2 If elected, Adams said he would work hard for the people of the district and Lafourche

Parish as a whole, putting feet on the ground.

Riche emphasized his leadership experience as a 20-years educator and principal, saying a councilman needs to “lead by example” and be willing to listen and “pick up the shovel.”

Both were tepid about possible tax reform measures, instead saying the parish needs to look at where the money is going and how it’s used before cutting.

District 5 Martin and Wendell shared a passion and goals for the Bayou Blue-area district.

At one point, Martin said that area is the fastest-growing, but has felt like the parish’s “step-child.”

Wendell placed representation and communication as his top priority for the parish, while Martin focused on infrastructure needs.

“I know how the people hurt,” Martin said, noting his family’s fourgeneration history in the parish.

“I can’t live in a community without giving back to it,” Wendell said.

“I’m a public servant, not a politician.”

District 6 Cressionie claimed District 6 pays the highest property tax rates, but said a lot of the district is still suffering.

While he thanked Perrillioux for serving on the council this part term, Cressionie said it was his time to take his public service to the next level.

Perrillioux touted the accomplishments of his first term in office, including passing termlimits for the council and parish president, opening an early voting site in Central Lafourche and instating the parish’s Outstanding Citizen Award, among other drainage and infrastructure projects.

Both said tax reforms should be considered.

District 8 Boudreaux, who serves as director of the Cut Off Youth Center, said she has been committed to serving the public. When she decided to run for the seat, she didn’t wait for the “last day at the last hour,” to sign up.

The parish’s best shot at expanding the economy and seeing success is to work together, she said.

District 9 Lasseigne made several mentions of his opponent’s more than 36-year tenure on the council, saying its time for “new leadership” and “new direction.”

“If it’s not broken, don’t fix it,” Lorraine said in rebuttal.

If re-elected to a 10th term, Lorraine said he would prioritize funding for the South Lafourche Airport road connection to La. 1, a project he’s been pushing for years as a boost to the economy.

Lasseigne, who has challenged Lorraine before, also said the parish needs to drastically review it’s taxes and roll back property and sales taxes where excess revenue is brought in.

states helps boost a state’s ranking, though Louisiana likely would have to spend more to improve its score on other measures. Lawmakers this year dedicated about $700 million in new spending for infrastructure, though much of it is dedicated to major new projects.

Shawn Wilson, secretary of the state Department of Transportation and Development, says more revenue likely will be needed to address the state’s $14 billion backlog of needed improvements.

About $500 million a year is needed just to keep the current system from getting worse, he says.

Louisiana’s statecontrolled highway mileage makes it the 12th-largest highway system in the country.

Reason Foundation’s Annual Highway Report measures the condition and cost-effectiveness of state-controlled highways in 13 categories, including pavement condition, traffic congestion, structurally deficient bridges, traffic fatalities, and spending per mile.

The report is based on spending and performance data submitted by state highway agencies to the federal government for 2016 as well as urban congestion data from INRIX and bridge condition data from the Better Roads Bridge Inventory for 2017.

Deputies seek to identify Raceland vehicle burglary suspects

The Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help to identify suspects in a recent vehicle burglary.

During the early morning hours of August 25, a vehicle burglary occurred on Gibson Street in Raceland. The vehicle was parked at a residence with security cameras that captured images of the suspects taking a backpack from inside the vehicle. Deputies also found a neighboring residence with security cameras which captured video of two suspects walking through the

neighbor’s carport, and a third suspect is seen briefly at the end of the video.

Deputies are asking for the public’s help in solving this crime. Anyone who can identify the suspects is asked to submit a tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers Bayou Region by phone at 1-800-7437433 or online at www.crimestoppersbr.or g. Tips can also be submitted using the P3 Tips app on your mobile device. Tipsters could be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000 in cash if the information leads to an arrest.

Orgeron: No. 6 LSU focused on Georgia Southern triple-option

By TED LEWIS Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU coach Ed Orgeron makes it clear the sixth-ranked Tigers are too busy preparing for Georgia Southern’s triple option to talk about their highly anticipated showdown with No. 10 Texas a week later.

“It’s our first game and we want to do well.

And all of a sudden a triple-option team comes in and all of your time is spent on worrying about how we’re going to defend it,” Orgeron said Monday of the visiting Eagles, who were 10-3 last season.

The Texas game, “has not been mentioned,” Orgeron said.

“We haven’t had any distractions.”

LSU appears to have avoided significant injuries and off-the-field troubles that afflict some college teams this time of year.

While freshman guard Kardell Thomas, who was expected to compete for first-team snaps, had an ankle injury which required surgery, he is the only player who has publicly declared out for the season.

And, unlike last year when two scholarship quarterbacks transferred during preseason camp, having an established starter in senior Joe Burrow has eliminated that drama.

Beyond good fortune, Orgeron said, the lack of injury concerns stem from NFL-level caution in resting players who have what he called “minor camp injuries,” thereby avoiding risk of aggravation.

“Our practices have a lot of walk-throughs, although there are times when we are hitting,” Orgeron said.

“Our training staff does a tremendous job of gauging everything about how hard we should be working.

“You’ve always have guys who want to play.

But when they’re held out, they kind of understand.”

The relative lack of pre-season disciplinary

problems this far was another point of pride for Orgeron.

“I do believe the culture of this program has changed,” Orgeron said.

“We recruit character.

“We tell our team that character counts.

Do the right things, protect the team and so far it’s been pretty good.”

On the field, the depth chart released Monday showed only one position — left guard — as a game-time decision. That call is between fifth-year senior Adrian Magee and sophomore Chasen Hines.

As expected, cornerback Derek Stingley, considered the nation’s No. 1 recruit from last season, will be starting, making him and kicker Cade York the only firstyear players to do so.

However, Orgeron indicated that highly-regarded freshmen running backs John Emery and Tyson Davis-Price should see action and new nose tackle Joseph Evans has been pressing starter Tyler Shelvin.

“John Emery is everything and more,” Orgeron said of the nation’s top-rated prospect at his position. “And Joseph Evans has proven he can play at LSU.” In Georgia Southern, the Tigers will be facing a team that was an FBS-leading plus-22 in turnover margin last season, thanks mainly to the Eagles becoming the first team in NCAA history to go through the season without throwing an interception (Georgia Southern averaged just nine attempts per game).

“That’s a phenomenal stat,” Orgeron said.

“We had a bonus week last week (due to classes not starting until Monday) and thank God we did because we needed the time.

“You’ve got to guard the dive, the quarterback and the pitch.

You’ve got to make a lot of one-on-one tackles. If you don’t, they’re going to make a big play.”

But Orgeron emphasized that this game — not Texas — has the Tigers’ attention.

“I’ve seen how hard our staff works and I’ve seen our guys coming together,” he said. “In the first game there are always some questions in your mind — game management, making sure everything is clean.

“I just want 11 guys on the field fighting like Tigers and rarin’ to go,” the coach added. “I’m sure of that.” ___ More AP college football: https://apnews.com/Collegefootball and https://twitter.com/AP_Top25

Trump to Little League champs: ‘See you at the White House!’

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is applauding the Louisiana team that claimed its first Little League World Series title, tweeting: “Congratulations to Louisiana’s Champions. See you at the White House!”

The team from suburban New Orleans beat Curacao 8-0 to win the title on Sunday.

The champions fought their way back through the losers’ bracket, winning six games in eight days.

They became the first team to win the Little League World Series after dropping their first game since the tournament expanded in 2001.

Trump is in France for the Group of Seven summit. His tweet was in response to a shoutout from Louisiana Republican Rep. Steve Scalise, who had suggested a trip to the White House might be in order for the team. ___

Average US price of gas down 8 cents per gallon to $2.66

CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — The average U.S. price of regular-grade gasoline has dropped 8 cents per gallon over the past two weeks to $2.66.

Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg Survey says Sunday that an abundant supply and low crude oil costs contributed to the decrease at the pump.

The price is 25 cents lower than what it was a year ago.

The highest average price in the nation is $3.57 a gallon in Honolulu.

The lowest average is $2.07 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

The average price of diesel is down 3 cents, to $3.01 per gallon. ___

Boy admits setting fire that damaged Louisiana church

VIVIAN, La. (AP) — A 7year-old boy admits setting a fire that damaged a northwest Louisiana church.

Because of his age, he won’t be criminally charged, but the state Fire Marshal’s office says the boy’s guardian promises the boy’s family will work with the church on repairs.

The Fire Marshal’s office says it determined a Sunday afternoon fire at the Church of Christ in Vivian was intentionally set. The fire damaged the building’s vestibule.

Investigators say the fire came hours after the church’s front doors were discovered shattered by a thrown rock.

The boy admits to

8th grader gunned down in Louisiana causes call for change

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — An 8th grader who just made the football team at his Louisiana middle school has been shot to death.

His aunt, Tammy Linson, tells The Advocate that 14-year-old Brionne “BG” Linson’s dreams of becoming a police officer were stopped short Friday when he was killed in Baton Rouge.

An 18-year-old was found shot in the arm nearby. The newspaper says Brionne was shot in an area of the city where homeless people congregate due to its concentration of shelters and social services. It says law enforcement and residents say the area also has several drug houses.

Baton Rouge police have released few details about the shooting. They released Brionne’s name and age Monday. They have yet to publicly identify the other wounded teen or say if they have a motive or suspect.

A classic sandwich so full of flavor, you can’t help but sink your teeth into it

OPELOUSAS, La./PRNewswire/ — Looking for that perfect summer poboy? We’ve got it!

Leigh Ann Chatagnier of My Diary of Us calls this “heaven in sandwich form.” With Gulf shrimp, crisp lettuce, summer tomatoes, remoulade sauce, and Tony Chachere’s® Seafood Marinade and Original Creole Seasoning, this combo of flavors truly makes an epic sandwich!

Tony Chachere’s® has been a fixture in kitchens across the nation for decades, with a particular presence in the Southeast. While its authentic lines of Creole products are top-notch for all sorts of dishes, its marinades, mixes and seasonings are a must-have for your everyday feasts.

GRILLED SHRIMP PO’ BOYS INGREDIENTS For the Sandwich: 1 Lb. Gulf shrimp, peeled and deveined 2 French bread sub rolls ½ Cup Tony Chachere’s Seafood Marinade 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice Sliced tomatoes Butter lettuce Pickles (optional) For the Remoulade Sauce: ½ Cup mayonnaise 1 Tbsp. Creole mustard 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 Tbsp. prepared horseradish 1Tsp. Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice PREPARATION Pour Tony’s Seafood Marinade over the shrimp and let them marinate for 30 minutes.

While the shrimp marinates, make the remoulade sauce by combining mayonnaise, Creole mustard, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning and lemon juice in a bowl and whisk until smooth and creamy.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat, about 375°.

Skewer the shrimp for easy grilling and then grill on each side for 2-3 minutes until shrimp just turn pink.

Place French bread on the grill cut side down for 1-2 minutes until just charred slightly.

Place a liberal amount of remoulade sauce on each side of the French bread and then layer tomatoes, lettuce and shrimp. Slice in half and serve immediately.
