Calcasieu Parish’s Galan touts progress with drainage projects – American Press
SUMMARY: Alberto Galan, assistant to the administrator of Calcasieu Parish Police Jury, highlighted significant progress in drainage and infrastructure projects in Southwest Louisiana, focusing on post-Hurricane Laura and Delta recovery. The parish has allocated considerable funds, including $40 million from the American Rescue Plan, solely for water, sewer, and drainage projects. Significant efforts include a $200 million drainage cleanup and a new $6 million detention pond. Despite some ongoing challenges, improvements have been notable, with reduced flooding issues. Future projects include a $20 million Animal Services facility and a new Family Court building, all achieved without additional taxes.

SUMMARY: The article, penned by Jim Beam, reflects on the 90-minute debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Voters are questioning if these are the only presidential options for 2024. Biden, criticized for his halting performance and age, attempted to counter Trump's false claims. CNN noted that Biden failed to allay voters' concerns, while Trump perpetuated election fraud myths and criticized Biden's presidency. NPR highlighted that the debate may not significantly influence the election outcome. Despite speculation, Biden affirmed his intention to continue campaigning. The article concludes that Biden and Trump remain the primary candidates for now.
