Walker Mayor Bobby Font is challenging businesses and neighborhoods to “Deck the Town” for Christmas.
Lawmakers vowed Friday to clear up eligibility problems that are impeding disabled soldiers from getting a $100,000 benefit. Just defeated for a second term by Edwin Edwards in 1983, then-Gov. Dave Treen didn’t hang up his hat and leave the massive budget problems behind.
