Louisiana actuarial committee approves retirement fund reports | Louisiana
SUMMARY: The Public Retirement Systems’ Actuarial Committee in Louisiana met to review reports on four state retirement systems. The committee evaluated audits for the State Employees’, Teachers’, School Employees’, and State Police Retirement Systems. All four systems saw increased investments, improving assets and reducing liabilities. The State Employees’ system saw a $1.5 billion increase in net position, with $12 million in annual savings. The Teacher Retirement System’s net position rose by $1.3 billion, while the School Employees’ system saw similar gains. State Police experienced a modest improvement due to changes in member demographics. Legislators’ focus on retirement funds contributed to reduced unfunded liabilities.

Louisiana becomes first state to secure federal broadband expansion approval | Louisiana
SUMMARY: Gov. Jeff Landry announced that Louisiana is the first state to gain federal approval for its $1.355 billion Broadband, Equity, Access and Deployment plan, aimed at connecting over 140,000 locations to high-speed internet. This initiative, part of the Granting Unserved Municipalities Broadband Opportunities 2.0 program, is expected to create 8,000 to 10,000 jobs and generate $2 to $3 billion in revenue for state businesses. With implementation expected to begin within 100 days, over $500 million will support education, healthcare, and economic development. Louisiana’s swift approval contrasts with other states facing delays in the broader federal funding rollout.
