Aug. 1: one Scenic Rivers Act exemption expired on the Comite River. The same day, a new 5-year one began on the West Pearl — passed 35-0, 97-0, zero press. Since 2018, the law has never applied in full to every river it covers. kingfish.la/scenic-river...

⏳ First thing to do with any public notice: expiration date minus publication date. That's your window. Often 15 or 20 days. Those are legal minimums, not courtesy invitations. Calendar it before you read another word. kingfish.la/how-to-read-... #CenLa

In Louisiana you don't need a lawyer, press credentials, or a reason to see government records — the custodian isn't allowed to ask why. Real deadlines, real penalties, and a court that can order the files produced. Our working guide: kingfish.la/how-louisian...

Huey Long understood Louisiana power better than anyone before or since. He used it to build a machine. We pay the same close attention, and point the light the other way. We are a new investigative newsroom for central Louisiana. Bring a flashlight. #kingfish kingfish.la/we-are-kingf...
