Lawmakers take care of themselves, shield their budget from chopping block By MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — As they weigh steep cuts across state services, Louisiana lawmakers have fully funded their own budget so legislative agencies are poised to escape reductions in three weeks, even as those agencies are sitting on tens of millions of dollars in unspent funds. Lawmakers passed an $85 million spending plan for the House, Senate and other legislative agencies in the fiscal year starting July 1, similar to the budget approved last year, while education, social service and public safety programs are on the chopping block. And legislative agencies get an additional $10 million annual dedication of money for their operations from an earmark enacted in 2008. In addition, audits show that on top of the annual financing they’re slated to receive, the House, Senate and other legislative agencies have tens of millions in unspent fund balances — and even more cash in the bank beyond that. One legislative agency alone, according to a recent financial report, showed more than $42 million in the bank, with more than $40 million deemed an “unassigned fund balance” when the last budget year ended in June 2017. Gov. John Bel Edwards called it “the height of irresponsibility” for lawmakers to cover their own paychecks and operations while leaving other agenSee Lawmakers Page 7-A

Latest special session to begin June 18 By MELINDA DESLATTE, Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Gov. John Bel Edwards is calling lawmakers back to the Louisiana Capitol on June 18 for the third special session this year aimed at replacing expiring taxes, hoping he can broker a deal with House GOP leaders to avoid deep budget cuts looming in three weeks. The Democratic governor Friday outlined the dates and parameters for the 10day special session, which must end by June 27. Only sales taxes and certain budget items can be considered this time. Louisiana is expected to bring in $648 million less in the budget year starting July 1, a shortfall tied to the loss of temporary taxes. Edwards called special sessions in February and May aimed at filling the shortfall. Both collapsed without closing the gap. Lawmakers will head into this next session with the governor and House Republican leaders still at odds over how
much money should be raised. “We have one more opportunity to get this right for the people of Louisiana,” the governor said in a statement. He added: “We know the path we need to take, and now it’s time to come together as Louisianans to solve this problem.” In the final minutes of the most recent special session, lawmakers passed a budget that makes the cuts required to stay in balance and keep agencies operating in three weeks. College campuses, the TOPS tuition program, public safety programs and the social services department are among programs that would be slashed. Edwards announced Friday that he has signed that budget into law, though he’s hoping more dollars will be added to the spending plan. He vetoed a prior budget proposal that contained similar cuts, but the new financial year is growing ever nearer. Also, the budget includes a
roadmap for how any new money would be spent. “While this budget is not perfect by any means, it clearly lays out the choice the Legislature has leading up to the special session,” he said. “This budget funds our health care priorities and lays out a plan to fully fund TOPS, higher education, sheriffs, children and family services, our district attorneys and other critical priorities.” The upcoming session will be Edwards’ seventh special session since taking office in 2016, all dealing with Louisiana’s financial problems. The upcoming special session is estimated to cost taxpayers $50,000 to $60,000 per day. See Session Page 7-A

Suicide rates increase in Louisiana and across the nation By Natalie Schwartz Daily Comet Staff Writer
Suicide rates in Louisiana have increased by more than 29 percent since 1999, following a larger nationwide trend, according to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Louisiana joins 48 other states that saw increases across gender, age groups, and race and ethnicity. The state’s suicide rate ranks 27th in the nation, according to the report, which analyzed data from 1999 to 2016. Terrebonne Parish had 14 suicides last year, and Lafourche Parish had 17. The apparent suicides of renowned chef and food writer Anthony Bourdain
and famous handbag designer Kate Spade in the past week have raised public awareness about people killing themselves. Suicide is now the 10th-leading cause of death in the nation with about 45,000 in 2016 — twice the number of homicides. It is the second-leading cause of death in the nation for those between ages 10 and 34, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. An average of eight children in the state up to age 14 die by suicide a year, according to a report by the Louisiana Child Death Panel Review. It’s important to secure medication, firearms and other potentially deadly items in a household to See Suicide Page 5-A
For over 50 years, Cajun musician Ervin “Vin” Bruce shared his music with the world, telling multiple stories through the lyrics in his songs. The native and longtime resident of Cut Off was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia three months ago, a slowly progressing and uncommon type of cancer that begins in the bone marrow. He died Friday night at the age of 86. “Some days he was perked up, some days he was down. At the end he lost the battle,” said his son, Dwayne Bruce. Vin Bruce was one of the first Cajuns to play at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. Among his many achievements, he was indicted into the Nashville Music Hall of Fame, the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame and the West Band Musicians Hall of Fame. “Vin Bruce was an icon in the area, as he wrote many songs about our culture. He thrived to pass along our Cajun heritage through his music and was an ambassador for all the people here in south Louisiana,” Lafourche Parish President Jimmy Cantrelle said. He enjoyed music, loved his family and delighted himself when spending time with his grandchildren. When he learned one of his grandsons, Benjamin Bruce, had gotten the music gene, he enjoyed teaching him his songs.

Analysis: Cue the blame game as second special session fails By MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Immediately after Louisiana’s latest special session collapsed without a budget-balancing tax deal, the blame game began. Many legislative leaders, rank-and-file lawmakers and Gov. John Bel Edwards engaged in chastising each other, trash-talking their favored targets on social media and retreating to their corners, entrenched in their notions that they were right. Few officials talked publicly about how to reach a compromise to avoid steep cuts to programs and services in three weeks, or how to improve areas of obvious lacking leadership before coming back for another special session later this month. Maybe that’s part of the problem. Louisiana is grappling with shrinking tax dollars in the budget year that begins July 1, $648 million less than this year, all of it tied to the expiration of temporary taxes. Edwards called special sessions in February and May aimed at filling the shortfall. The first one disintegrated in partisan stalemate, with no money raised for the gap. The second one cratered last week, with some money raised, but no deal reached on the centerpiece sales tax proposal, which would have renewed a portion of the 1 percent state sales tax expiring next month. As has happened before, the public meltdown happened in the fractious House, when the clock wound down to the midnight deadline. A sales tax bill backed by the Senate to raise about $500 million - and opposed by House GOP leaders - fell six votes short of passage. A smaller tax bill supported by the House Republican leaders to raise $400 million then failed by 32 votes. When Republican Rep. Julie Stokes sought to bring the Senatebacked tax bill back for a second consideration, Republican House Speaker Taylor Barras allowed his GOP colleague Alan
Seabaugh to take the microphone and stall long enough to miss the deadline. “I rise in opposition to the bill. We’ve already voted on it. We’ve been here, and yes, I am trying to run the clock out,” Seabaugh, of Shreveport, told the House. Stokes, of Kenner, replied: “You’re just trying to kill the session.” “Yes, I am,” Seabaugh responded. It’s unclear if the bill could have reached the two-thirds support needed to pass. But the collapse of the session amid shouts and boos aimed at Barras and Seabaugh - along with the appearance that a minority of House GOP members orchestrated the failure - kicked off new rounds of recriminations. That worsens animosity ahead of the upcoming third special session, as many of the players in the debate accuse others of playing games. House Republican leaders say the Senate jammed them, holding sales tax votes to the final hour of session until a tax break expansion for the working poor sought by Democrats won passage. They say the Democratic governor is too rigid, approaching negotiations with a my-way-or-thehighway attitude. House GOP leaders say they compromised by moving from the no-tax stance of many members to offering $400 million of the $648
million Edwards sought. The House Republican Delegation released a statement accusing the governor of “hostile resistance and outlandish scare tactics.” “While Republicans came to the middle, the administration and Democrats doubled down on a tax-and-spend budget,” the statement said. Edwards, meanwhile, blamed a “total collapse of leadership” in the House, a minority of members letting “politics take priority over people.” He described a “distinct, hardcore ‘Caucus of No’ in the House of Representatives standing in the way of the state of Louisiana.” Senators say they offered the compromise, which Edwards supported in the final days of the session, by proposing to raise an amount halfway between what the governor wanted and what the House Republican leaders sought. The Senate presented a united front, with senators overwhelmingly agreeing to their sales tax proposal, without the public breakdown that marred the House. And what continues to be clear is the House’s conservative Republican leaders don’t seem to reflect the viewpoint of a majority of the chamber’s members on financial issues. That leaves the governor and the Senate trying to find a way to broker a deal with House leaders who don’t cede to the wishes of the majority. ___ EDITOR’S NOTE: Melinda Deslatte has covered Louisiana politics for The Associated Press since 2000.

“Highest Quality at the Lowest Prices!” Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed Since 1945
Gas prices remain steady with average of $3.01 per gallon
CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — The average price of regular-grade gasoline in the U.S. has remained relatively steady for the past three weeks with a national average of $3.01 per gallon. Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg Survey said Sunday that a drop in crude prices has not been seen at the pump. Lundberg says that station operators kept the difference between wholesale and retail prices to make up for tight margins. The average on May 18 was a fraction under $3 a gallon. The highest average price in the contiguous 48 states was $3.81 in the San Francisco Bay Area. The lowest was $2.54 in Baton Rouge. The average price for diesel fuel rose 4 cents, to $3.27. ___
National rig count rises by 2 to 1,062; Texas gains 3
HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased by two this week to 1,062. At this time a year ago there were 927 active rigs. Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes reported Friday that 862 rigs drilled for oil this week and 198 for gas. Two were listed as miscellaneous. Among major oiland gas-producing states, Texas added three rigs, Colorado increased by two and Louisiana gained one. Oklahoma and Wyoming declined by two rigs each and North Dakota decreased by one. Alaska, Arkansas, California, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah, and West Virginia were unchanged. The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981. It bottomed out in May of 2016 at 404. ___
Report: Oklahoma tops states in incarceration rate
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma now has the highest incarceration rate in the U.S., according to a recent study. The Prison Policy Initiative released its “States of Incarceration: The Global Context 2018” study last month. The nonprofit’s data figures account for state prisons, local jails, federal prisoners and other systems of confinement, the Tulsa World reported Oklahoma’s incarceration rate is 1,079 per 100,000 people, un-
seating Louisiana at No. 1 in the country, according to the report. Louisiana has an incarceration rate of 1,052 per 100,000 people. The state’s reform efforts are expected to slow the incarceration rate and not reduce it, said Kris Steele, chairman for Oklahomans for Criminal Justice Reform. Oklahoma also incarcerates people at higher rates than all countries with a population of at least 500,000, according to the study. Information from: Tulsa World, http://www.tulsaworld.com

Louisiana lawmakers shield their budget from chopping block
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana lawmakers have fully funded their own budget so legislative agencies escape reductions in three weeks even as they weigh steep cuts to other programs and services. Lawmakers passed an $85 million spending plan for the House, Senate and other legislative agencies in the fiscal year starting July 1, similar to the budget approved last year. That comes as audits show the House and Senate have millions in unspent fund balances. Gov. John Bel Edwards called it irresponsible for lawmakers to cover their own paychecks and operations while leaving other agencies facing deep reductions. Lawmakers will consider taxes to lessen cuts in a special session beginning next Monday. Senate President John Alario says if lawmakers don’t close gaps in other agencies, the legislative budget should be reworked to take cuts. ___

State returns $2.3 million in oil royalties to resident
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The state is returning $2.3 million from its Unclaimed Property Program to a north Louisiana resident. The treasurer’s office says in a news release Monday that this is the largest amount ever returned to one person in the history of the program. The resident did not want to be identified. The return resulted from unclaimed oil royalties from a deceased relative. Dollars in the unclaimed property fund come from old savings and checking accounts, payroll checks, stocks and dividends, insurance proceeds, oil royalty payments and utility deposits that aren’t immediately claimed by their rightful owners. The treasurer’s office tries to locate people and return the money. Treasurer John M. Schroder says the $2.3 million return was a “special case” and that usually claims fall in the range of $900.

Suicide From 1-A
prevent children or others from gaining access if they are having suicidal thoughts, said Danita LeBlanc, a suicide prevention coordinator for the Louisiana Department of Health. “One of my hopes sometimes is that we move toward more gun safety, more firearm safety in our culture,” LeBlanc said. “In many cases there is a bit of impulsive aspect to people acting on taking their life.” Montana had the highest per-capita suicide rate and saw a 38 percent increase since 1999. Nevada was the only state to see a decrease. In 27 states, 54 percent of deaths by suicide weren’t tied to a known mental health condition, according to the report. “(Relationships), substance use, health, and job or financial problems are among other circumstances contributing to suicide,” the report states. Cynthia Elmer, the board chairwoman for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Louisiana Chapter, said it’s important to recognize that it’s usually not just one thing, such as mental illness or job loss, that factors into a suicide. The most important thing someone can do, Elmer said, is to reach out and listen to those who may be showing warning signs. “If you notice that someone you know is just not acting the same, is (more sad) or drinking more or dressing inappropriate — just any kind of sudden change in their demeanor — it could be a sign,” Elmer said. “I always say follow your gut.” Elmer lost her son to suicide in 2004. She didn’t notice she had slipped into a breakdown afterward but credits a friend from work from bringing it to her attention. “I did not myself know it,” Elmer said. “She saw the signs, she brought them up to me and I got help.” The AFSP says some warning signs of suicide include talking about no reason to live, talking about being a burden to others, increased use of drugs or alcohol, withdrawing from activities and mood changes. When someone does say they have been considering suicide, it’s important to listen to them, keep them safe and get help from a trained professional. Those experiencing suicidal thoughts can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1800-273-TALK or text “START” to the Crisis Text Line at 741741.

Search for Vietnam veteran dubbed ‘Louisiana’ finds bittersweet end By MARIA CLARK NOLA.com/The TimesPicayune
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A global search for a Vietnam Veteran nicknamed “Louisiana” came to a bittersweet end recently. A group of veterans who had started searching for their Army buddy in May with only a nickname and a single photograph to go by learned “Louisiana,” whose actual name was Harold Thomas, died from a heart attack in 2015 at age 65. Susan Waldrop Garvin, the wife of Vietnam veteran Jim Garvin, said everyone just assumed Thomas was a good ol’ Cajun boy. The Garvins spent most of the first weekend in June catching up with Thomas’ family, who lives in California where he grew up. “We had to know, why the nickname ‘Louisiana?” said Waldrop Garvin. It turns out, Thomas never lived in Louisiana, and in fact had never actually visited the state. Thomas grew up in South Carolina before moving to Oklahoma and, finally, to California when he was 7. Even though he lived in the Golden State for the next 57 years, Thomas never lost his southern drawl. “He called everyone ‘y’all,’ so they started calling him Louisiana,” Waldrop Garvin said. And, when he enlisted, Thomas just told everyone to call him Louisiana. It had been close to 50 years since they’d spoken, and all Jim Garvin had to remember his friend was a faded photograph of him from their days in Vietnam. Wondering why “Louisiana” had never gone to any of the reunions, Garvin hoped to connect with him and to
say “Welcome home,” Waldrop Garvin said, so she posted on Facebook. The post was shared more than 167,000 times, and the search for “Louisiana” went worldwide. An American volunteer living in Vietnam even took the photo of Thomas to the village near where it was taken hoping someone might have remembered the young soldier, Waldrop Garvin said, and the couple shared details of their search on Jim’s website. One of Jim Garvin’s veteran friends reached out and said he had kept a book of names of soldiers from their time in Vietnam. Under each man’s name was a hometown, but the name Harold Thomas never jumped out before because San Jose, California, was listed beneath it, and the group of friends had just always assumed their buddy was actually from Louisiana. “He was hiding in plain sight this whole time,” said Waldrop Garvin. A volunteer researcher took the list and ended up connecting Thomas’ photo to his name. Even though the reunion with Thomas won’t happen, being able to share stories and talk to his family about the outpouring of support from strangers around the world has brought a good finale to the search, she said. “It’s as close to a perfect ending as we’d hope,” she said. ___ Information from: The TimesPicayune, http://www.nola.com
Scientists predict average dead zone
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Federal scientists are predicting an average dead zone this summer in the Gulf of Mexico. But they note that this would still be three times greater than the longterm goal for reducing the size of the largely human-caused area where there’s too little oxygen to support marine life. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts this year’s will cover about 5,780 square miles, or about the size of Connecticut. The 33-year average is about 5,460 square miles off the Louisiana and east Texas coasts. Two Louisiana scientists are predicting a larger hypoxic zone — 6,620 square miles, or slightly larger than the state of Vermont. A tropical storm within the two weeks before the annual mapping cruise would reduce its size by about 30 percent, to less than 4,700 square miles, said Nancy Rabalais of the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium and R. Eugene Turner at Louisiana State University. Last year’s dead zone was the largest ever measured, at 8,776 square miles. Louisiana’s hypoxic zone is among more than 500 worldwide, and is

Last year’s record-breaking dead zone was about the size of New Jersey.
the second-largest caused by people, Rabalais and Turner said. NOAA’s news release said the federal agency is making independent predictions for the first time, after years of working with four universities. The forecasts are based on nitrogen runoff and river discharge data from the U.S. Geological Survey. Nitrogen and phosphorus carried down the Mississippi River feed plankton blooms that die and sink to the bottom, where their decay uses oxygen. “The bottom line is that we will never reach the long-term target until more serious actions are taken to reduce the loss of Midwest fertil-
izers into the Mississippi River system,” said aquatic ecologist Don Scavia, professor emeritus of environment and sustainability at University of Michigan. The university’s model is one of those contributing to NOAA’s. The smallest measurements were during or after droughts: 1,696 square miles in 2000 and 15 square miles in 1988. The forecast also assumes that the weather is normal before LUMCON’s annual survey, which is underwritten by NOAA. Hurricanes or tropical storms stir up the water, adding oxygen and reducing the size of the dead zone.

Session From 1-A
Tax negotiations are expected to pick up where they left off when time expired Monday, centered on the expiration of a 1 percent sales tax hike that would drop the state sales tax rate to 4 percent in July. The Senate agreed to renew one-half of the expiring tax, to have a 4.5 percent sales tax rate on July 1. That bill would have fully financed the budget that passed. House lawmakers disagreed on the rate on the last day of session, with a bipartisan majority supporting a 4.5 percent rate and House GOP leaders pushing a 4.33 percent rate that garnered about onethird House support. Neither proposal reached the two-thirds threshold to pass before Monday’s midnight deadline. Edwards supported the Senate version. House GOP leaders asked for items involving Louisiana’s spending cap and government audits to be included in the parameters for the next session, but Edwards refused. The governor did, however, announce he’s signed a transparency bill pushed by Republicans, aimed at beefing up a state website for taxpayers to track how dollars are spent. ___ Follow Melinda Deslatte on Twitter at http://twitter.com/melindadeslatte
cies facing deep reductions. “Isn’t that something? The Legislature’s budget is fully funded right now. But the budget for the state agencies that actually serve the people of our great state, including our children and our most at risk people, catastrophically underfunded,” the Democratic governor said after a budget-balancing special session collapsed. Louisiana is expected to bring in $648 million less in the budget year starting July 1, a shortfall tied to the loss of temporary taxes. Lawmakers will consider replacement taxes to lessen cuts in a special session beginning next Monday, the third special session this year after two earlier budget-balancing sessions called by Edwards cratered without closing the gap. Without additional money, the state operating budget will slash spending across most agencies outside of health care services to stay in balance in three weeks. Republican Senate President John Alario said Monday that if lawmakers don’t close gaps in other agencies, the legislative budget should be reworked to also take reductions. “I think we ought to share in whatever cuts are across the board,” he said. “If the overall problem gets solved, then the legislative budget gets solved. If the overall problem doesn’t get solved, that’ll have to be thrown in the mix.” GOP House Speaker Taylor Barras didn’t respond to phone calls from The Associated Press. It’s hard to determine exactly how much money legislative agencies have at any given time, because the treasurer’s office says the House, Senate and other legislative offices don’t

keep their funds in accounts with the state treasury like most other state agencies. But annual audits by outside accountants are released each year through the Legislative Auditor’s Office. The most recent financial reports, for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2017, show the House sitting on more than $30 million in the bank, with about $6 million deemed an “unassigned fund balance.” The Senate, according to its report, had $7.5 million considered by auditors to be unassigned out of nearly $10 million in the bank. The Legislative Budgetary Control Council, which covers expenses shared by the House and Senate, was listed as having more than $40 million unassigned, according to its financial report. ___ Follow Melinda Deslatte on Twitter at http://twitter.com/melindadeslatte
Vin Bruce From 1-A
scribed Vin Bruce as the humblest man he knew. “He didn’t want people to praise him for his music. He wanted them to see him as the person he was,” Cheramie said. A carpenter in his early years, Vin Bruce was a shy country boy who, coming from a musical family, those who knew him said. He devel-
oped a love for Cajun music that drove him to learn how to play guitar on his own at the age of 10. In 2017, Vin Bruce was chosen as the Lafourche Parish Citizen of the Year. The Lafourche Parish Council also honored his accomplishments by declaring April 25, the day of his birthday, to be Vin Bruce Day every year. Former Lafourche Parish Assessor Leroy Martin said Vin Bruce was always there when someone asked him to sing at birthday parties and celebrations. “I knew him all my life, I lost my best friend,” Martin said. “He would always be there for the people in the community. The Cajun nation lost its greatest member. He will truly be missed.” Vin Bruce’s music was special in its own way. All the songs he wrote told stories that were close to his community. He wrote about love stories of the people he was around and stories that he experienced himself. “When you write music like he did, you touch people’s lives,” Cheramie said. “His music made people laugh, cry, and helped people meet for the first time and then be together for life.” Dwayne Bruce said his father was always friendly everywhere he went, and loved helping
