Rep. Walt Leger, the number two ranking member of the House, said Wednesday that he's shelving his proposal to let the campuses raise tuition according to a plan devised by the Board of Regents. He said he doesn't have the two-thirds support of lawmakers required to pass the bill.
"The votes are not there, and I don't believe they will be there this session," said Leger, D-New Orleans, "As far as I'm concerned, it's done."

NEW ORLEANS -- Superintendent Ronal Serpas and Mayor Mitch Landrieu welcomed the Police Department's first recruit class of the year Wednesday.
Twenty-nine cadets are making their way through their police academy, but some experts say it's like putting a finger in a hole a the dam.

NEW ORLEANS - The Planned Parenthood building coming to South Claiborne Avenue doesn't even have walls yet but it certainly has enough controversy surrounding it.
At the groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday, many spoke in support of the new facility, but there were some protesters as well.
Planned Parenthood officials say they’re proud to be opening a new site offering affordable health care. The facility will offer everything from cancer screening to information about birth control methods.

They want to make sure the operation is following federal and state laws. Earlier this week, protesters came together to oppose the new clinic.
