SUMMARY: Marque Russell joins us to prepare a lemon thyme whipped cream cheese dip. She uses 16 oz of whipped cream cheese, a tablespoon of dried thyme (or more if fresh), green onions, lemon juice, pepper, salt, and olive oil. Mixing and refrigerating it overnight enhances the flavors. This versatile dip can be paired with sandwiches or vegetables and is a great way to incorporate herbs, which can help reduce sodium while adding flavor. Marque also emphasizes herbs and spices monthly at the Louise Williams Library, offering free samples and recipes to encourage culinary exploration.

SUMMARY: At a New Orleans City Council meeting, Council President JP Morrell criticized the Cantrell administration for issuing a notice of termination on IV Waste’s emergency cleaning contract. Morrell emphasized that the contract for Henry Consulting, which was to replace IV Waste, was not valid without the council’s signature. Despite praise from residents about IV Waste’s work, the Cantrell administration gave no response when questioned about the termination. Henry Consulting maintains that the dispute with a subcontractor is resolved and that they are prepared to start their contract in August. The City of New Orleans reiterated its commitment to ensuring sanitation services through December.

Bossier term limits battle set to receive final decision on Saturday | Louisiana

(The Center Square) — An ongoing effort to establish retroactive term limits in Bossier City receives the final vote by residents on Saturday. 

Back in September, an ordinance establishing term limits for the Bossier City Council members failed to pass despite citizen concerns. The ordinance called for a special election in December proposing no person who has been elected or appointed to serve for three terms is eligible for reelection.

Residents presented a petition during a September city council meeting with roughly 3,000 signatures. 

Nearly nine months later, the parish will vote on the retroactive term limits. If passed, four council members will be ineligible for reelection — Jeff Free, Jeff Darby, David Montgomery and Don Williams. 

A previous JMC analytics poll reported showed between 50%-70% of citizens in each district would approve city council term limits. 

The Bossier City Term Limits Coalition began the argument over retroactive term limits, while the City Council’sprevious proposed charter is prospective term limits. The council originally wanted their prospective term limits to be on the December ballot last year. However, the Louisiana Bond Commission rejected the proposal. The reasoning behind the rejection was for the council’s omittance of the retroactive term limits supported and petitioned for by citizens.

The Center Square previously reported that if the charter passed in the March election, it wouldn’t hinder the retroactive petition version from being added and voted on in future elections depending on how the courts ruled. 

“If this goes forward as it is and it passes I think it could block any further action because the people of Bossier City will feel like they made their decision through their vote and that would mean that there would only be prospective term limits,” John Fleming, state treasurer and commission chair said previously. 

As the May election approaches this week, citizens will cast another vote for term limits as they did in March. 

While the March election did not address retroactive term limits, both propositions received a majority vote to pass some form of term limits for elected officials in Bossier. 

“We think that we’re going to be successful because we’ve made such a stink of this for the last two years,” David Crockett told The Center Square previously. “We think that some of these city councilmen are going to get beat, and we may get control of the council with good people that are not doing this for self-serving purposes.”

Note: The following A.I. based commentary is not part of the original article, reproduced above, but is offered in the hopes that it will promote greater media literacy and critical thinking, by making any potential bias more visible to the reader –Staff Editor.

Political Bias Rating: Center-Right

The article focuses on the local political issue of establishing retroactive term limits in Bossier City, presenting the facts with an emphasis on citizen activism and holding elected officials accountable. The language is generally neutral but leans slightly towards supporting government accountability and limited political tenure, which aligns with traditional conservative values favoring term limits and reduced government entrenchment. There is no overt partisan language or ideological framing that would suggest a strong bias, but the framing and source (The Center Square, known for center-right reporting) indicate a center-right perspective.
