BATON ROUGE — The Senate advanced a bill Wednesday night that would effectively stamp out a lawsuit a New Orleans levee board filed against 97 oil and gas companies, seeking to force them to repair damage they caused to Louisiana’s wetlands.It doesn't get better than a moment like this.

Wishing you and yours a Happy Easter! Glad to be back home for the holiday, but still plenty of work left in BR starting up again on Monday!
