Voters to vote Saturday on constitutional amendments | Louisiana
SUMMARY: Louisiana voters will decide on four constitutional amendments, addressing judicial accountability, budget procedures, and property tax reforms. Amendment 1 seeks to expand the Judiciary Commission and improve judicial oversight, but concerns about political influence linger. Amendments 2 and 3 aim to enhance budget transparency by mandating a 48-hour waiting period before voting on budget bills and extending legislative sessions for budget finalization. Amendment 4 proposes replacing the current delinquent property tax sale process with a tax lien auction system, which would provide property owners more time to address debts. Each amendment presents significant implications for governance in Louisiana.

Monday Noon Tropics Update: Fernand heads north, Invest 99 fizzles
SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Fernand is improving in organization with 60 MPH winds but faces increasing wind shear and cooler waters as it moves north, likely weakening by Wednesday without threatening land. Invest 99 in the eastern Caribbean remains disorganized with strong wind shear, leading the National Hurricane Center to drop its development chance to 0%. The hurricane season has reached Fernand, with Gabrielle and Humberto next on the list, though no new formations are expected soon. Approaching the peak hurricane season around September 10, activity is likely to continue through September, with cooling temperatures and increased rain chance as fall approaches.
