You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 29th, 2025. 0:30 We dig into the brewing legal battle between the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. New Orleans claims the state’s new traffic camera law violates its home rule authority, while Attorney General Liz Murrell says the city’s camera-issued tickets fail basic due process requirements.
