'We need to build muscle memory': Black civic groups turn out for early vote drive in Shreveport
Those in the line outside the Caddo Registrar of Voters Saturday morning were there to do more than vote — they were there to be seen. Early voting was in full swing Saturday as members of groups acting under the loose affiliation of the "Black Voter Collective" came out to cast their ballots. With a goal of rallying 5,000 voters in a single day, their mission was just as much about signaling the power Black voters have.

Shreveport council push for raises for all city workers
(The Center Square) - Shreveport officials will calculate the cost of accelerating pay raises for city employees after council members pushed to move those increases closer to the proposed Dec. 1 raises for police officers and firefighters. Under Mayor Tom Arceneaux's plan, police officers and firefighters would receive a 6% base salary increase effective Dec. 1. The raises would initially be funded with building permit revenue from data centers, with the city eventually shifting to recurring revenue to sustain the increases. During Monday's administrative conference, council members argued that employees in various city departments were just as essential to city operations as police officers and firefighters and should not have to wait months for pay increases. More than 400 city employees are expected to receive raises beginning Jan. 1, 2027, Shreveport Chief Administrative Officer Tom Dark said, after a compensation study found their salaries fell behind those for similar positions in other cities. Dark said the raises were purposely spread out over several months to avoid payroll mistakes. "Doing these all at once raises more and more of the possibilities of payroll errors and things like that," Dark said. "We were trying to spread it out." Councilman James Green argued
