Treasurer: Louisiana has $300M-plus surplus from last year By MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press

It’s not just football season around here … it’s also alligator season! Paul Guidroz, pictured at right, and Joe Autin, unload a 10-ft., 7-inch gator caught on Delta Farms in Larose last week. Think that’s big? It wasn’t even the biggest one! Paul and his dad, Joey, caught an 11-ft., 7-inch gator also on Delta Farms. Alligator season opens the last Wednesday of August in the east zone of Louisiana and remains open for 30 days. Currently over 2,000 licensed alligator hunters harvest 30,000 to 35,000 wild alligators annually in Louisiana, according to LDWF.

LOGA meets as Louisiana oil industry stagnates By John Haughey | Watchdog.org

The Louisiana Oil & Gas Association’s (LOGA) annual Fall Meeting & Seminar began Tuesday in Lafayette and among topics certain to generate discussion during the two-day gathering is how the state’s legal environment and its 12.5 percent severance tax on oil production is preventing Louisiana from benefiting from a boom in domestic crude production. The U.S. Energy Department announced last week that the U.S. likely surpassed Russia this summer, after eclipsing Saudi Arabia earlier this year, as the world’s largest oil producer. The energy department estimates the U.S. produced 10.9 million barrels a day in August compared to about 10.8 million barrels a day for Russia. Much of the boom is driven by shale

drilling, especially in West Texas’ Permian Basin. The energy department projects U.S. crude production will increase to 11.5 million barrels a day in 2020. But according to LOGA President Gifford Briggs, crude oil production in Louisiana has declined from almost 76 million barrels in 2000 to a projected 40 million barrels in 2018. Briggs writes on LOGA’s website there are only 15 rigs offshore and eight land rigs in operation, but “about 500 legacy and coastal lawsuits” that have created so much uncertainty that producers are moving operations to Texas and Mississippi See LOGA Page 2-A

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana will have a surplus topping $300 million from the last budget year when the final numbers are settled next month, the state’s treasurer said Friday. Treasurer John Schroder said the state recently closed the books on the 2017-18 budget year that ended June 30 with a cash balance exceeding $400 million, although the figure has to be audited and double-checked. “We have a lot of cash in the bank,” the Republican elected official said. “We’re going to have a surplus in excess of $300 million. We still have some work to do to absolutely firm that number up.” Schroder said his office couldn’t yet pinpoint why the state has the hefty surplus, whether tied to betterthan-expected tax collections or some other explanations. Gov. John Bel Edwards’ spokesman Richard Carbo confirmed Louisiana has a surplus, but he said the exact amount won’t be determined until mid-October. “It is premature for the treasurer to be discussing any figure, but we will release more information at a later date,” Carbo said in a statement. Carbo suggested the surplus was “another sign that Louisiana is headed in the right direction” financially. But conservative Republicans said it indicates the Democratic governor exaggerated the need for taxes to plug budget gaps. “His unreasonable demands resulted in excess taxation,” Rep. Nancy Landry, a Lafayette Republican, posted on Twitter. See Surplus Page 3-A

Lung transplant survivor races back to recovery By DAN COPP, The Courier of Houma

HOUMA, La. (AP) — After receiving his second double lung transplant last year, just getting out of a chair took a lot out of Paul Thibodeaux. His weight fell to 108 pounds and he was on oxygen 24 hours a day with 12-percent lung function. Not only did the Thibodaux Police narcotics agent make a full recovery and return to duty in April he participated in the Donate Life Transplant Games of America, which were held in Salt Lake City, Utah, last month. “I’ve always been athletic,” the 35year-old said. “When Ochsner told me about the Transplant Games, I automatically wanted to do it. They didn’t even have to convince me.” The Transplant Games, which began in 1990 and are held every two years, is a multi-sport event produced by the Transplant Life Foundation for people who have undergone life-saving transplant surgeries. The competition

is open to living donors, organ transplant recipients and bone marrow and tissue transplant recipients. “They had so many competitions you can do,” Thibodeaux said. “I was on the basketball team, volleyball team and did the 4 x 100 relay. Anyone in the state of Louisiana that has had an organ transplant can be on the team.” Nearly every state was represented during the six-day competition, and Team Louisiana included about 60 members. The detective even won a silver medal in the relay race. “The team did really good,” he said. “We got a lot of medals.” It was just a year ago when even walking a few steps presented an enormous challenge for Thibodeaux, who suffers from cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder where the body produces excess mucus, affecting the respiratory and digestive systems.

where courts and regulations are more industry-friendly. Louisiana has one of the highest severance tax rates in the country on oil production at 12.5 percent. Texas, the nation’s No. 1 oil producer, taxes oil at a rate of 4.6 percent. Briggs explains that Louisiana “is one of a few states that have different rates for the severance tax of oil and natural gas. Interestingly, Louisiana not only has different rates, but entirely different methods for calculating the severance tax on oil and gas.” Louisiana’s tax rate for natural gas is a flat fee per MCF (Million Cubic Feet) of production. “The fee is set annually by the state of Louisiana and calculated by inputting the previous year’s natural gas prices into a formula,” he writes. “The formula then spits out a rate that is set for the

year and remains in effect until the price is reset the following year.” Oil is taxed on a percentage of the value of the oil at the time and place of severance. The rate is now set a 12.5 percent, which “has us leading the nation, but unfortunately, not in the way one would hope,” Briggs writes. “Leading the nation with the highest severance tax rate for oil production is not the way to lead this state in prosperity and increase outcomes,” he continues. “We must continue to fight for the success of our industry and elect leaders who celebrate and value to build a better economic environment for the next generation of oilmen and women.” LOGA’s fall meeting included presentations by U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and a ‘Women In Energy” panel discussion moderated by Sen. Sharon Hewitt, R-Slidell.

Cat knocks out power to 7,500 in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A cat got into a utility company substation and came into contact with electrical equipment, knocking out electricity to more than 7,500 New Orleans customers. Entergy New Orleans said on its website and in social media posts that it happened Monday morning. New Orleans news outlets said the outage happened around 8:30 a.m. Power had been fully restored by midday. The outage affected part of the city’s central business district, and some other neighborhoods. The utility said it is unusual for a cat to get into a substation or make it around protective devices. The company added that, when it happens, the animal doesn’t survive. ___

Agency: Ex-Louisiana State Police cadet leaked lewd images

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Police say a former Louisiana State Police cadet is accused of sending lewd photographs of a former U.S. Army worker in a blackmail attempt. News outlets report 26-year-old Jimmy Kassis was booked Friday on nonconsensual disclosure of a private image. While employed by the U.S. Army, state police say Kassis sent nude images of his co-worker to that person’s Army general in February. They say he intended to send the images to the victim’s other employer. State police spokesman Sgt. Jared L. Sandifer says Kassis was terminated as a cadet after they discovered the pending Army investigation. An arrest warrant was obtained for Kassis on Aug. 6, but he fled. Police in Van Buren Township, Michigan, later said they arrested him. It’s unclear if Kassis has a lawyer. ___

Authorities: 2-year-old dead after grabbing gun from counter

LIVINGSTON, La. (AP) — Authorities say a 2-yearold boy has died after he managed to grab a gun from a counter in a Louisiana home. Sheriff Jason Ard of Louisiana’s Livingston Parish tells news outlets the child is believed to have climbed up on a stool to reach the gun. He says the gun went off and the child was hit in the face Monday morning. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital. The child’s identity hasn’t been released and, as of Monday evening, no charges had been filed in the case.

Surplus

From 1-A

Earlier this year, lawmakers urged by Edwards passed nearly $500 million in taxes for this year’s budget. Edwards said state services would face deep, damaging cuts without the taxes. The largest amount of money came from renewal of 0.45 percent of an expiring 1 percent state sales tax. That sales tax was enacted for seven years, until mid-2025. The taxes backed by a majority of the Republican-led Legislature raised dollars for the budget year that started July 1. Any surplus money from last year couldn’t have been rolled over to plug those gaps. Under Louisiana’s constitution, surplus dollars can only be spent on certain one-time expenses, like debt payments, construction work and coastal projects, not ongoing agency expenses and continuing programs. At least 10 percent of any surplus is supposed to pay down retirement debt, and a quarter of a surplus is earmarked for the state’s “rainy day” fund. Schroder said he’s happy the state has a surplus, but worried the governor and lawmakers won’t spend it in ways to improve Louisiana’s financial position. He suggested the dollars should go to the rainy day fund, which once had a balance exceeding $850 million but now contains around $322 million, and to lessen retirement liabilities. “I have absolutely no confidence on how this money is going to be spent,” the treasurer said. “I know some of this money is going to be spent on pet projects and things that aren’t priorities to this state. That’s what bothers me.” Louisiana had a $123 million surplus from the 2016-17 budget year. After the money required to pay down retirement debt and sent to the rainy day fund, Edwards and lawmakers spent the remaining $80 million on

“Just because they put in new lungs doesn’t mean they work perfectly right away,” Thibodeaux said. “Just standing up is work. You lose a lot of muscle from the surgery. I was down to 108 pounds and was barely anything. Slowly you start walking a little. Then a little bit further, and a little bit further. Then six weeks down the road I started doing cross-fit workouts without any weights. It was rough at first, but I just had to push through. Eventually I started getting stronger. You keep working until you get to where you want to get. Even now I’m not where I want to get yet.” After months of intense workouts and rehab, Thibodeaux’s weight increased to 165 pounds and he returned to full-time duty on April 9. To get ready for the competition in Utah, he intensified his training. “I already work out a lot in the gym to keep in shape,” he said. “I had to brush up on my volleyball skills, but running is just running. As long as you can run you can do a relay.” Thibodeaux said the competition he encountered in Salt Lake City was some of the fiercest he’s ever faced. “That was the roughest basketball game I played in my life,” Thibodeaux said. “We beat the first team but then we played the Utah home team and lost in overtime by one point.” Thibodeaux offered words of encouragement for those who are recovering from their own organ transplants: don’t give up. “It’s going to be hard but you’ve got to push through because it will get easier,” he said.

Trojans romp Tarpons, 38-6 Gazette Sports Reports

The South Lafourche / Central Lafourche rivalry, historically, has belonged to the Tarpons. But recent results show that there may be a local changing of the guard. The Trojans beat the Tarpons 38-6 on Friday night, their thirdstraight victory in the annual rivalry series between the teams. Coach Keith Menard said the win was a good one for his team, adding that the Trojans played well in all three phases to secure the victory. “It was a good night for our football team in all three phases,” Menard said. “I think that we did good things in every phase and it was a good, hard-fought, total-team win.” The Trojans executed their game plan early. An interception gave the Trojans pristine field position and a 3-0 lead on a short field goal, a fast start that Menard said was needed for his team. After an exchange of punts, the Trojans found the end zone first on a long touchdown run from Deon Jenkins to go ahead 10-0 late in the first quarter. Jenkins had 150 yards rushing and two scores in the win, a continuation of the stellar start to the season for the junior playmaker. But South Lafourche battled back. The Tarpons went on a long, sustained drive, their best offensive drive of the season, after Jenkins’ score to cut the lead. On fourth and goal from the 2-yard-line, Terry Wheaton took a toss sweep to the right, cut inside and found the end zone. After a missed extra point, the Tarpons trailed 10-6. But the Trojans didn’t blink. Central Lafourche dominated the final reaches of the second half to go in front for good. After another Jenkins touchdown run and

a 2-point conversion, the Trojans led 18-6 with 3:02 left before halftime. But a combination of poor offense from South Lafourche, key timeouts by the Trojans and big plays handed the ball back to Central Lafourche twice before halftime and they turned both opportunities into points, first on a long touchdown pass to Peyton Loredo to go up 256, then on a short field goal as the first half expired to go up 28-6 at the half, a lead they’d never relinquish. “Too many big plays,” South Lafourche football coach Blake Forsythe said. “We gave up too many big plays and we got behind the chains too many times on offense. Our offense is based on continually having positive plays and staying ahead of the chains. And we’re just so young. We’re having a hard time doing that right now.” In the second half, South Lafourche looked like they were going to get some momentum. They attempted, and recovered, an onsides kick to start the second half. But officials ruled that the kick was illegal, because it was driven into the turf in an effort to create a high bounce angle, a violation of a new rule in LHSAA circles. On the re-kick, the Trojans took the kickoff to the house for a touchdown, a play which about summed up the night for both teams. “That was a big swing for us,” Menard said. “After the recovery, we had momentum and that air just kind of came out of the balloon a little bit,” Forsythe said. “And when it came out the balloon, we missed an assignment and we all know what happened next.” Both teams open district play next week. The Trojans take on East St. John, while the Tarpons take on Ellender.

Nicholls falls to McNeese, 20-10

as he hit Lawayne Ross on a 16-yard scoring play for a 7-0 lead 10 seconds into the game after Nicholls fumbled the opening kickoff. Blake Yorloff hit Stefano Guarisco as he was returning the kickoff, causing the fumble. BJ Blunt pounced on it to give the Cowboys the ball on the 16. Blunt finished with three sacks on the evening. Nicholls could not get across the goal line until the final seconds of the game as McNeese (30, 1-0) controlled the tempo throughout. Chase Fourcade threw for 257 yards with one TD for Nicholls (1-2, 0-1) which opened its season with a 26-23 overtime win over Kansas. The teams waited out a lightning delay of more than an hour before starting the game.

By BRETT MARTEL AP Sports Writer

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — As much as LSU coach Ed Orgeron urges his players to “block out the noise,” the reality is inescapable. The Tigers have indeed used their underdog status as emotional fuel in a pair of upsets of top-10 teams in the first three weeks of the season. Now that they’re ranked sixth in the Top 25, they’ll have to get used to playing as favorites — this week against Louisiana Tech and perhaps until current No. 2 Georgia visits Death Valley on Oct. 13. “All the negative stuff that was going on ... if it did affect us, it affected us in a positive way,” Orgeron said Monday, referring to LSU barely being ranked in the Top 25 to start the season and listed as a preseason underdog in a handful of games on its schedule — including against thenNo. 8 Miami in its season opener and then-No. 7 Auburn this past Saturday. “We’ve been playing with a chip on our shoulder.” Several LSU players have acknowledged being motivated by college football analysts who almost unanimously predicted against them before their dramatic, 22-21 victory at Auburn on Saturday. Going forward, Orgeron asserted, “We are going to stay humble. It’s going to start with me. We are not going to mention rankings. We are not going to mention anything but focusing in on the task at hand.” Orgeron recalled that when he was an assistant to Pete Carroll on Southern California teams that contended for national titles, high rankings or anything else that promoted a sense of favored status were “never mentioned.” As far as Orgeron is concerned, LSU players should look no further than their own experiences from this season for lessons about what it means to be highly ranked. “We’ve played two top-10 teams so far. Being a top-10 team did not help them, so that’s not going to win a football game for us,” Orgeron asserted. LSU entered the season confident in its defense, but unsure what to expect from an offense that would rely on a new quarterback, as well as largely unproven running backs and receivers. The suspension of starting offensive tackle Ed Ingram shortly

Marlbrough wins first week of football contest

The winner of week one of the Lafourche Gazette Football Contest is Dallas Marlbrough of Golden Meadow. Dallas’ entry tied with one other with 7 wrong but his came closest to the tiebreaker scores. Winners can pick up their prize at the Lafourche Gazette office Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Fridays until 12-noon.

before the season only cast further doubt on the unit’s potential. LSU’s passing game has been by no means prolific, but quarterback Joe Burrow, a graduate transfer from Ohio State, has avoided turnovers and come through with clutch completions, such as on his fourthand-7 completion on Saturday’s winning drive. Meanwhile, running back Nick Brossette has blossomed as a senior, averaging about 110 yards per game. “It feels good. Credit to all the guys who just kind of trust the process,” said senior tight end Foster Moreau, a member of the team’s leadership council. “We understood what we were going to have to do and how we were going to have to beat teams that we weren’t expected to beat. But then again, it’s only three games in. We’re undefeated so far, but we’re far from perfect.” Burrow moved his right hand upward and across his body while predicting the direction of LSU’s offense as the season progresses.

“Going into the first couple games, I hadn’t started a game in college until this year and I was kind of just feeling it out for a little bit, knowing that we have a really good running back, really good offensive line, really good defense,” Burrow said. “I think we’re about to take off as an offense now. “Like Coach ‘O’ always says, ‘We don’t blink,’” Burrow added. “We knew we had a really talented team going into this year, and if we played our cards right and executed the plays that we had, we were going to be really good.” So far, defense and special teams have played leading roles in LSU’s success.

5-A

Kicker Cole Tracy, a transfer from Division II Assumption College, has made seven of eight kicks, including a gamewinner from 41 yards as time expired at Auburn. The defense has created seven turnovers on two fumbles and five interceptions to go with 10 sacks. While Orgeron wants the offense to improve, he said the defense just needs to “keep on playing the way we’re playing.” “I like the way we’re attacking up front. I love our linebacker play. I think our secondary is playing lights out,” he said. ___ More AP college football: https:// apnews.com/tag/Collegefootball and https://twitter.com/AP_Top25

Breaux reported we received a FAA grant of $54,000 for the design of Airfield Drainage Improvements which is for a slow draining area at the southeast end of the runway. P. Gisclair stated he read the article in the paper today. Melancon commended staff for reporting this achievement. R. Gisclair stated this is a good way to let people know we are not just Fourchon but have an Airport as well.

Director Chiasson updated the board on the Offshore Anchorage. The project is pending with USCG. They are actively consulting with federal,

state, and local agencies to compile surveys and data.

We learned of several areas where they suggest more clarity on the funding plan for non-federal dollars, which we are relying on the State of Louisiana to pledge. We have presented some specific funding concepts to DOTD Secretary Wilson for a state authored INFRA application which he is waiting guidance from the Governor’s office on what concepts he would support. Melancon questioned the contract time for Phase 2E, which Boulet replied the contractor start date was May 26th and they have 420 working days in the contract. President P. Gisclair opened the floor for public comment. Dickie “Radar” Cheramie announced his candidacy for Port Commission Seat G. Francis Bruce announced his candidacy for Port Commission Seat H.
