Local lawyer Cassie Felder is our first guest of the day and she joins us to discuss her candidacy for Louisiana's 6th Congressional District. Felder is running on a conservative platform with an outspoken focus on repealing the Affordable Care Act and abolishing the IRS, and she talks with Jim about these issues and more which ultimately led to her decision to run for Congress. She also discusses her recent lawsuit filed in court last week against two political consultants who left her campaign to work for the campaign of opponent Garret Graves; the Baton Rouge Fairness Ordinance; the recent decision by Federal Judge Martin Feldman to uphold La.'s ban on same-sex marriage; and much, much more.
Also, CATS (Capital Area Transit System) CEO Bob Mirabito is back to talk with Jim about the latest news concerning our bus system and the changes that have been implemented during his first year as CEO. In a report released this past week, the non-profit organization Together Baton Rouge, who's been monitoring progress of the bus system, gave CATS an A-minus grade overall. Bob says he's pleased with the grade and feels that it's generous, but he's the first to admit that more work can be done.
