Louisiana gets $2.4 million from foreclosure settlementBATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — State Treasurer John Kennedy says more than 4,000 borrowers in Louisiana are owed money from a settlement with mortgage servicers stemming from the 2008 housing bubble burst.
Kennedy is urging residents to check the department's Unclaimed Property database to see if they're owed any of that cash. Kennedy, in a news release Thursday, said the state had just deposited more than $2 million that is owed to Louisiana residents and his office wants to get that money to them. The average borrower is owed at least $300. Kennedy says the parishes of Jefferson, East Baton Rouge, Orleans, St. Tammany and Caddo have the largest number of borrowers in line for money.

Suit challenges new abortion restrictions in LouisianaBy CAIN BURDEAU, Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Abortion clinics in Louisiana and their doctors have filed a lawsuit to block a series of new restrictions on abortion, including making women wait longer before an abortion can be performed and taking away medical options in the second trimester.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Baton Rouge on Friday. The restrictions take effect Aug. 1. New requirements would force many women to wait 72 hours and undergo ultrasounds before getting abortions. Louisiana is also partially banning a procedure called dilation and evacuation. The suit charges the laws are unconstitutionally restrictive. Such restrictions are at the center of a nationwide battle over abortion. On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a Texas law requiring hospital admitting privileges for doctors who perform abortions. The Supreme Court blocked enforcement of a similar Louisiana law in March. Troopers Remind Travelers to Make Safe Decisions during Independence Day Weekend
