Legislative regular session through Jul. 9, 2011

The governor continues to deal with bills. Interestingly, he continues to sit on two bills, one from each chamber, which would do basically the same thing by transferring the University of New Orleans from the Louisiana State University System to the University of Louisiana system. Next week their final dispositions and rankings will appear.
