Tax reform, other bills advance in first week of special session | Louisiana
SUMMARY: During Louisiana’s special legislative session, lawmakers advanced significant bills to reform the state’s tax code and juvenile prosecution laws, introducing a total of 31 bills. Governor Jeff Landry emphasized the importance of adopting his entire tax reform package, which includes a proposed flat 3% income tax rate and has seen support from both the House Ways and Means and Appropriations Committees. However, some legislators, including Rep. Mandie Landry, raised concerns about proposed expansions of taxed goods and services. Additionally, House Bill 7 seeks to amend the state constitution regarding tax exemptions while addressing teacher pay raises.

How long could Taysom Hill be sidelined during rehab for season-ending injury?
SUMMARY: Taysom Hill is facing a torn ACL, which will likely end his season. The ACL is crucial for knee stability, and it typically cannot be repaired but is instead reconstructed using a graft from other areas of the knee. Rehabilitation involves strengthening core, hip, and quad muscles, alongside aggressive range-of-motion exercises. It will take about nine months for full recovery. Although Hill previously injured this knee in college, with a plate and screws already in place, athletes generally recover better than others. A second opinion on his injury is expected. Dr. Wendell Herd explains that post-recovery, athletes can return to high-level performance.
So what kind of rehab is New Orleans Saints star Taysom Hill facing with this injury and how long could he be sidelined? WWL Louisiana’s Meg Farris reports.
