Louisiana Republicans Abolish Elected Position Days Before Exoneree Takes Office

Louisiana Republican Gov. Jeff Landry signed legislation abolishing the Orleans Parish clerk of criminal court position just days before exoneree Calvin Duncan was set to take office after winning the election with 68% of the vote. The consolidation merges the civil and criminal court clerks' offices, saving the state $27,000 and the city $233,000 while shifting $1.17 million in expenditures to the parish. Democrats criticize the move as government overreach that disenfranchises a predominantly Black parish's voters.

LIV Golf Postpones New Orleans Event Amid Funding Uncertainty

LIV Golf has postponed its June event in New Orleans, rescheduling to September or October to avoid summer heat and potential World Cup clash. Louisiana officials confirmed the state paid $3.2m under contract, with $2m invested in course upgrades, and LIV is expected to return $1.2m in incentive funds. Reports suggest Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund is set to end its support, despite CEO Scott O'Neil insisting the 2026 season would continue as planned. The tour has lost over $1.1bn since 2021.
