Healthcare and business leaders from across Louisiana have spoken out in support of Gov. John Bel Edwards’ mask mandate, which will help limit suffering and death as the state experiences its worst surge yet. The statewide indoor mask mandate, when coupled with efforts to increase Louisiana’s vaccination rate, is an important way to improve Louisiana’s COVID-19 situation without further harming Louisiana’s small businesses.
Here is a sample of some of the leaders who support Gov. Edwards reinstating the mask mandate. A link to all of the letters of support is below.
“As Louisiana once again faces another COVID-19 wave being fueled by the Delta variant, the demand being placed on hospitals across the state is simply unsustainable. The Louisiana Hospital Association, along with many of our hospitals and health systems, continues to promote the use of mitigation measures, such as the use of face coverings indoors, social distancing, limiting the size of

LSU President William Tate IV
LSU appoints the first Black president in the school’s history and who is also the first Black president in the Southeastern Conference. University of South Carolina Provost William Tate IV has been tapped by the LSU Board of Supervisors to lead the system.
“I’m really grateful for it as I reflect historically in my own personal journey it’s a huge moment for me individually just being a president period, but this part of history to me is very special,” said Tate.
Tate was unanimously approved by the board and board member Collis Temple Jr, who was LSU’s first Black basketball player, made the emotional official motion to select Tate.

BREC is stepping up its opposition to a bill by Sen. Bodi White, R-Central, that would break up the parish parks system and create three new smaller agencies to run parks and recreation in the cities of Central and Zachary and in the prospective city of St. George once it is incorporated.
In a fact sheet released earlier this week, BREC says the bill would create additional and unnecessary layers of bureaucracy, risk BREC’s national accreditation status and jeopardize transformational projects that benefit the entire parish like the planned overhaul of the zoo and Greenwood Park by removing about 30% of the system’s revenues.
