More Discussion For Alternative Theories
A Senate bill that would allow public school teachers to discuss alternative scientific theories in class, without fear of reprisal, passed the state Senate. In committee, bill sponsor Ben Nevers of Bogalusa amended language out of the bill that made it appear to be a back door for teaching creationism in schools. Nevers added back to his bill example mentions of "evolution, the origins of life, global warming and human cloning". Three of those four are considered by some to be hot button religious issues. The bill heads to the house.

Rolling Back Stelly?
The state Senate is scheduled today to debate a bill that would roll back income tax increases enacted under the 2002 "Stelly Plan". The plan swapped sales taxes on most groceries and other items, for new income tax brackets. The bill would restore income tax brackets to their pre-Stelly levels, meaning tax savings of up to $500 for single filers. The measure would shave 2-percent off taxes on incomes between $25- thousand and $50-thousand.
