$3.2 Billion to Nonprofits: Where Did Louisiana’s Money Go?

We start by digging into a Louisiana Legislative Auditor’s report showing the state sent $3.2 billion to nonprofits over four years, with $1.9 billion of it coming from the Department of Education. We ask what taxpayers got for $10 million to the New Orleans Super Bowl host committee, $300,000 to the Country Music Association in Nashville, and nearly $11,000 to an LGBTQ aging advocacy group. We also separate charter school funding, where test scores give you something to measure, from spending where the return is much harder to see.
In the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Governor Jeff Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill are headed to Paris for the Saints game on a chartered flight, while Mayor Helena Moreno says she is paying her own way. New Orleans has declared Election Day a city holiday, even though polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. and early voting is already underway. The U.S. Department of Transportation is also putting $5.81 million toward replacing railroad bridges between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, which gets us debating whether a passenger train could ever pay for itself.
It’s campaign season, so we talk about big-picture candidates versus little-picture candidates who’ve done their homework. Shreveport Mayor Tom Arsenault then joins us in the studio to answer a claim that he has a secret plan to double water rates. He walks us through the sewer consent decree, why any rate change needs city council approval, and how his Block by Block cleanup program is going as he asks for another four years.
Next, migrant student enrollment in California public schools has dropped sharply, and Oakland’s newcomer programs have shrunk from 17 to six. We talk about what that says about how school districts budget. In Say What, Maine Democrat Troy Jackson tells Senator Susan Collins to shut up during their debate and says he doesn’t regret it, and we look at what Collins actually said. We also meet an Indiana county council candidate who reportedly had three beers before a candidate forum. Then, with Halloween around the corner, we count down the spookiest cities in America, and New Orleans takes the top spot. We close with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s swift response to youth riots in Milan, and why freedom requires order.
