Update from the Stamms' attorney: "As anticipated based upon my conversations with the Harahan Clerk of Court the day before, the Magistrate and Prosecutor recused themselves- the former is/was friends with a Councilman and the latter, a neighbor. So, the arraignment was continued until such time as both new appointees are installed. That could be months."

I will continue to provide updates as they become available. Meanwhile, thank you for supporting Purple Martins.

I have encouraging news. Your emails to the legislature accomplished their goal. House Bill 633 did not get "voted out of committee." This is good news. However, an amended version may be introduced next week. Stand by for updates and further instructions. And thank you for using your voice to further the mission of Levees.org.
