Good Morning Lovelies! Happy Friday!!! Sunshine today and a high near 23, 14 along the coast.
A new law will make outdoor balloon releases illegal in Louisiana, drawing some criticism from community members who say the practice helps people mourn the loss of loved ones.
The Louisiana state legislature passed a bill last week that would ban the intentional outdoor release of Mylar and latex helium balloons starting August 1.
But the Louisiana Wildlife Federation said that when the balloons come down, they can harm animals that may ingest them. The balloons can also interfere with power lines and electrical infrastructure which can cause dangerous and costly damage.
KOOL QUESTION- Should we ban balloon releases here? What do ya think?
