Bossier City Council meeting gets heated over charter issues, budget | Louisiana
SUMMARY: Bossier City residents gathered for an Election Day council meeting to challenge a proposed ordinance for a new city charter set for the March ballot. This ordinance had previously faced deferral by the Louisiana Bond Commission due to concerns about it overshadowing a more popular charter petition. Despite public opposition and ongoing court appeals, the council voted to send the ordinance back to the bond commission. Opponents argued for better allocation of city funds, while supporters insisted the charter included important measures. The council also voted to approve the 2025 budget amid criticism about its spending priorities.

Monday 10PM First Weather: Tropical Storm Rafael forms, expected to become hurricane
SUMMARY: Tropical storm Raphael has formed in the Caribbean and is forecasted to become a hurricane as it moves toward the Gulf. Chief Meteorologist Chris Franklin noted that while it’s still uncertain how it may affect us, the storm is expected to weaken rapidly in the Gulf due to unfavorable conditions like wind shear and dry air. Current maximum sustained winds are 45 mph, and discussions about its path indicate that models are split between the northern Gulf and western routes. Overall, the storm’s environmental factors will play a significant role in its weakening as it approaches land.
