Show Notes
Two bills in Louisianas legislature propose different methods for selecting members of the Caddo-Bossier Parishes Port Commission. The Senate bill, backed by Senator Thomas Pressly, maintains local appointments but adds state confirmation and requires expertise. The House bill, supported by Representative Danny McCormick, suggests elections by voters every four years. The port commission, which oversees a crucial industrial hub, is currently appointed by local leaders for six-year terms. Both bills are in committee as the session progresses.
