FOX 14 Your Morning News: Parties continue to fight for House control after 2024 Presidential Electi
SUMMARY: As election results come in, Republicans are close to regaining control of the House, needing just five more seats for a majority, which would enable them to advance their agenda alongside the White House. Current counts show Republicans with 213 seats and Democrats with 202. Democrats are analyzing their losses among key demographic groups, including young voters and minorities. Notably, Republicans flipped 10 counties in California by addressing concerns like homelessness and crime. Despite significant shifts in traditionally liberal states, it could take days to finalize results in battleground districts due to mail-in ballots.

Customer bills may be funding power companies’ lavish perks • Louisiana Illuminator
SUMMARY: A report by the Energy and Policy Institute reveals that U.S. power companies are unfairly charging customers for extravagant expenses like massages, country club memberships, and private jet travel. Utilities are only supposed to charge for essential costs, but regulatory loopholes allow them to include luxury perks and excessive lobbying expenses in customers’ bills. Notable instances include Dominion South Carolina attempting to pass nearly $1 million for golf memberships. Despite some states enacting laws to prohibit such practices, many utilities continue to evade scrutiny, often relying on lobbying to influence regulatory processes. Consumer advocates face challenges in detecting these inappropriate charges.

Federal judge hears arguments on Louisiana’s 25-foot police buffer law • Louisiana Illuminator
SUMMARY: A federal judge in Baton Rouge heard arguments regarding Louisiana’s Act 259, which creates a 25-foot buffer zone around police officers, potentially violating First Amendment rights. The law, passed in May, criminalizes entering this zone after being asked to step back. News organizations argue the law restricts journalists’ ability to observe and report on police actions, especially misconduct. State officials defend it as a safety measure. Similar laws in other states have faced legal challenges, with some ruled unconstitutional. Judge deGravelles has yet to rule, awaiting additional briefs from both sides.
