His topic was the plan for a State Historical Marker to be placed at St. Joseph’s Catholic Cemetery in Zwolle to commemorate the three Torres brothers that fought and died in World War II. Verification by LSU of the documentation is pending. These siblings are thought to be from the only family in Louisiana that had 3 or more siblings that fought and died during World War II.

(The Center Square) – Louisiana legislators are hoping to find a way to avoid the higher business taxes and fees that could kick in next year to replenish the state unemployment insurance trust fund.

Employers pay taxes to support the fund that pays for unemployment benefits. When it falls below $750 million, the amount of a company’s wages that are taxable increases, benefits decrease, and a program that helps businesses train workers goes away. When it falls below $100 million, Louisiana law mandates that the Louisiana Workforce Commission impose a surtax on businesses of up to 30 percent on taxable payroll.

The fund, which contained more than $1 billion before the COVID-19 pandemic began, now stands at about $99 million, LWC Secretary Ava Dejoie said Friday. The commission has started the process to borrow money from the federal government to pay legally required benefits and expects to have access to up to $200 million around Oct. 1.

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards signed into law a new regulation (Act 175 of the 2020 Regular Louisiana Legislative Session) in June, which allows for the nighttime take of these animals without a permit.
