Elizabeth “Liz” Touchet has announced her candidacy for Vermilion Parish Police Jury, District 5 to succeed her husband Wayne Touchet who passed away last year.
She became the first female police juror to take the oath of office in Vermilion Parish in July of 2022, when she was appointed to serve the remainder of her husband’s term.

Update as of 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 6: Abbeville Mayor Roslyn White announced Saturday morning that the citywide water boil advisory issued on Friday has been rescinded.
White said, “Water is safe per LDH (Louisiana Department of Health), however, customers may notice ongoing clarity issues including water color and mineral sediment until the clarifier can be repaired.”

Beginning at 8:30 p.m. tonight, changes regarding the curfew for anyone under 18 will go into effect.
The Abbeville City Council approved the ordinance last month.
Among the changes are that those under 18 who are not accompanied by a parent(s), guardian(s), or other adult having the care and custody of the minor must be off the streets by 8:30 p.m., until 5 a.m., on Sundays through Thursdays, and from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
