BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) -- On This Week in Louisiana Politics, Gov. Jeff Landry announces a $4 billion ammonia plant in Ascension Parish, his insurance reform plan and cuts to a FEMA disaster mitigation program. Here's a recap of the latest in Louisiana political news. World’s l argest low-carbon ammonia plant coming to Ascension Parish Landry and CF Industries announced that the “Blue Point Complex,” a cutting-edge plant focused on producing low-carbon blue ammonia, is expected to become the largest facility of its kind in the world. Construction is expected to begin in 2026, with production starting in 2029. The project is expected to create more than 100 permanent jobs. Landry reveals insurance reform plan The governor criticized insurance companies and trial lawyers, who he said helped raise auto and homeowners insurance rates as insurers make record profits. He suggests a "balanced approach" to reform to hold both lawyers and insurers accountable.  “Too much of this advertising is having a cultural effect on our society, and it’s not healthy, however, to balance this, insurance companies should not be allowed to pass their advertising cost into the bills of Louisiana families, if the insurance companies want to hire overpaid celebrities to appear in commercials and have a Gecko sipping on coffee riding motorcycles, then our citizens should not pay for that in their premium increases,” Landry said. The day after Landry announced his plans for insurance reform, Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple presented his plan to reduce rates and address the crisis. Louisiana OMV sees improvement after system fix, Gov. Landry says Louisiana joins lawsuit against US nuclear commission  Louisiana joined the national lawsuit against the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), accusing them of overstepping their authority over nuclear reactors. “Louisiana’s energy future demands innovation, not unnecessary red tape,” Landry said. “Joining this lawsuit is about defending our ability to pursue advanced energy solutions like SMRs — solutions that are reliable, clean, and essential for economic development in the State. This is part of our broader strategy to make Louisiana an energy leader in the 21st century.” Louisiana was approved as an NRC Agreement State in 1967, giving the state the authority to regulate source, byproduct and nuclear materials. FEMA changes spark concern in Louisiana as BRIC program ends The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced it will end the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program—a major funding source for natural disaster mitigation projects across the state. According to FEMA data, nearly 150 Louisiana applications for BRIC funds, totaling more than $720 million, have now been canceled or placed on hold. In a statement, a FEMA spokesperson called the BRIC program “wasteful and ineffective,” claiming it was “more concerned with political agendas than helping Americans affected by natural disasters.” Close Thanks for signing up!
