Tommy talks to Lieutenant Governor Billy Governor.
One week and thirty three years ago today, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law. On today's show, we bring you three stories about Louisianans making their communities more accessible. First, we look back on Carnival season. With loud noises, tightly-packed crowds, and objects flying left and right – a Mardi Gras parade might not seem like the friendliest space for people with disabilities. Thankfully, there are some krewes that are specifically focused on inclusivity, diversity and accessibility. And perhaps no Krewe is better known for this than the Krewe of King Arthur. Back in February, we were joined by three King Arthur Krewe members, Dr. Rose Angelocci, Mary LeBlanc, and Loretta Brehm. Today we look back at that conversation. Towards the beginning of summer, Fontainebleau State Park became the first park in the state to offer an all-terrain wheelchair, allowing patrons with limited mobility the opportunity to explore hiking trails and the beach like never before. Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser is spearheading the effort to make all Louisiana state parks more accessible. In June, he joined WRKF's Karen Henderson for more, along with Jonah Clement, whose 17-year-old nephew Elijah Clement was the first person to use the all-terrain wheelchair at Fontainebleau State Park. Today, we look back on that conversation. In 2021, Louisiana native Hagan Landry won the silver medal in shot put at the Tokyo Olympics. And after the ceremony, he thought of Stephanie Lamparez, a physical therapist turned para-athlete coach in New Iberia who took hundreds of athletes with disabilities under her wing for more than thirty years. Last year, we highlighted Lamparez and the monumental impact she's had on Louisiana's para-athletic community. Today, we give that story a second listen. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber. Our digital editor is Katelyn Umholtz and our engineers are Garrett Pittman and Aubry Procell.

Scoot talks to WWL listeners about Lincoln Beach, Ponchartrain Beach, new charges in the Trump documents case and gets a surprise chat from Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser
In 2010, during the time that Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser was Plaquemines Parish's President, the BP Oil Spill took place. He became immersed in the issue, so much that the national media referred to him as the “Face of the Spill.” As Lt. Gov., Nungesser has additional battles including developing and promoting tourism. Nugesser joins Louisiana Life Executive Editor Errol Laborde, along with podcast producer Kelly Massicot, to express strong feelings about diversion projects as well as attracting visitors to the state. We will also hear about his recent trip to Australia and New Zealand.
Lt Gov Billy Nungesser traveled to Australia to showcase the tourism of Louisiana and to take in Australian culture.
On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court released its ruling in Allen v. Milligan, the Alabama redistricting case. They found that Alabama's 2022 congressional district maps violated the Voting Rights Act, apportioning only one Black-majority congressional district out of seven, in a state where about a quarter of the population is Black. To many, this outcome reaffirms the power of the Voting Rights Act in a political climate that could have weakened the law. Alanah Odoms is the executive director of the ACLU of Louisiana. She spoke with WRKF's Adam Vos about this surprising SCOTUS decision, and how it might impact the ruling in an upcoming case in Louisiana, Robinson v. Ardoin. People with limited mobility can now get out on hiking trails and explore the beach in an all-terrain track wheelchair at Fontainebleau State Park in Mandeville. It's the first park in the state to get the special chair, but others are planned for state parks throughout Louisiana. Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser is spearheading the effort to make all Louisiana state parks more accessible for people with disabilities. He joins us for more, along with Jonah Clement, whose 17-year-old nephew Elijah Clement was the first person to use the all-terrain wheelchair at Fontainebleau State Park.

When you need a way to promote your state that will draw lots of attention and is fun to look at, a spin-off of a Mardi Gras float might work, especially if your state is Louisiana. State tourism promotion is officially under the direction of the Lieutenant Governor's office. "Louisiana Insider" producer Kelly Massicot went to the source to talk to Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser about the effort during the holiday season for Louisiana to have a presence in both the nationally televised Rose Bowl parade and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day procession. Oh yes, we will also hear about a 60-foot-long alligator making his way through Manhattan.
Moon sits down with Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser to discuss Nungesser
Our guest is Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser, the 54th person to serve the State of Louisiana in this capacity. Billy Nungesser's drive to rebuild the tourism industry of Louisiana as we exit the pandemic is admirable, and we are well on the way to breaking the historic number of visitors we experienced in 2019 right before the pandemic. "In 2019, over 53 million people visited Louisiana leaving behind $1.9 billion in tax dollars, over $1,100 for each Louisiana family. By 2023, we'll be back to record-breaking numbers, In Louisiana, we treat strangers like family. You leave Louisiana with a friend for life and you keep coming back. Especially in the Acadiana region." Billy brings a unique joie de vivre to his position. Enthusiastic and hard-working, he became nationally known 12 years ago when serving as President of Plaquemines Parish in the aftermath of one of the biggest environmental disasters in history, the BP Oil Spill. He became the voice of Louisiana's frustration and the New York Times named him the "hardest working man in Louisiana." Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser pictured hunting with South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pam Evette in Louisiana swamps, 2022 Never seeing himself as a politician, Billy and his wife were living in Plaquemines Parish where they had built a riding center for special needs kids. With the 26 horses (and a few donkeys) they offered, he said, "We watched miracles happen in these young lives who had been wheelchair-bound." He also was a rancher with 400 head of cattle and 200 head of elk and had a successful business converting shipping containers into offshore living quarters. When Katrina hit in 2005, Billy found himself not only with animals to rescue, but neighbors who were stranded with no help. He took in 30 people who lived with him for months. Commissioner Agriculture Mike Strain's dad and uncle, who were in the cattle business with him, lived with him for a year after Katrina, rescuing animals. "I never saw a politician come by. I got so aggravated that people were left on their own." He got angry enough to run for Plaquemines Parish President and won. He became a voice of Louisiana and its people. Billy Nungesser in the aftermath of the 2010 BP oil spill which was one of the biggest environmental disasters in U. S. history, leaving so many birds dead and destroying our seafood industry along the coast. Billy was elected to serve as our Lt. Governor in 2016. The Office of Lieutenant Governor oversees many departments, with its main responsibility being Culture, Recreation, and Tourism, overseeing state parks and nine museums. Keep Louisiana Beautiful is also an important focus, as Lt. Gov. Nungesser strives to build awareness in our citizens of the importance of cleaning up our state. Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser spoke highly of Matt Stuller and his initiative, Parish Proud, for its heroic efforts to clean up Lafayette Parish and end the habit of littering. We can all do our part to pitch in and change our culture. For more information on Parish Proud, visit https://parishproud.org/ He also believes that the Historical Preservation and Revitalization of Downtowns throughout Louisiana is of critical importance. For an overview of grants and tax incentives, visit https://www.crt.state.la.us/cultural-development/historic-preservation/main-street/. As a former Parish President of Plaquemines, Billy shared the importance of all businesses, strip malls, and restaurants putting out trash bins so that it is easy to dispose of trash. "When I was Parish President, we put out 20 trash cans along Hwy. 23 at an angle where people could throw their trash from their cars. 90% of garbage went into the trash cans or near enough so that it was easy to dispose of." He shared that less than 17% of our people actually litter. "It's time to clean up our state just as you clean up your home when you invite people over. Hopefully one day we won't have to spend millions to pick up trash.
