'It's scary to live in fear': What Ukrainians in Louisiana are saying about the war back home
Description
With clashes over redistricting maps and threat of lawsuits from civil rights groups, the most recent state legislative session ended with a lot of questions still unanswered. Now, state senators and representatives are set to reconvene on Monday.
The Advocate’s editorial director and columnist Stephanie Grace joins WRKF’s Capital Access Reporter Paul Braun to discuss the agenda for the upcoming congressional session.
