Hour 1: The 16-count indictment of Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill is dropped, but the final chapter has yet to be reached.

This hour, Newell recaps the series of events that led to the Orleans Parish grand jury indicting Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill on 16 felony counts, from the elimination of an Orleans Parish Clerk of Court position, the letters to New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno, District Attorney Jason Williams, and five city council members warned the local officials that they could lose their jobs for opposing a state law that eliminated the position, to the eventual dismissal of the indictment. Then, Tomeka Bryant of the Port of New Orleans and Greg Rusovich of Transoceanic join the show to explain how a new AI-powered partnership and “digital twin” technology will speed oversized freight, strengthen supply chains, and position New Orleans as the nation’s premier heavy-lift gateway.
