Parents and caregivers of children need to inform themselves and prepare for a new Louisiana child safety seat law that goes into effect on Thursday, Aug. 1, 2019, the executive director of the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission said.
The new law keeps children in more protected restraint systems and safer positions until they are older, LHSC Executive Director Lisa Freeman said.

City of Abbeville officials have worked for years to bring the best electrical rates possible to the people who live here.
That plan is working.

​On July 28, at approximately 4:50 a.m., patrol officers of the Abbeville Police Department responded to a call from an address on East Lafayette Street.
