The emphasis on taxes and the budget is espe- cially appropriate this year as there is an indication that the budget picture in Louisiana is improving. With a reported surplus for fiscal year 2018 and the possibility of an increased revenue forecast for fiscal years 2019 and 2020 on the table, the legislature is in a better posture to craft a budget than it has been in any of the preceding ten sessions over the last three years. This however, does not mean that the effort to pass a budget will not continue to be contentious, as two competing budget bills have been filed. “Despite the uncertainty surrounding this year’s budget, we are fortunate to be working with numbers that demonstrate an im- proved fiscal picture,” said Senate President John A. Alario, Jr. “Our priority in the senate is to look beyond the politics of the budgeting process to do what we have always strived to do – pass a budget that protects our citizens, keeps our healthcare system intact, pro- vides quality education systems for our children and young adults, and ensures the basic needs of the state are met.” Lawmakers are also set to consider a host of measures that deal with other important issues including transportation and infrastruc- ture funding, minimum wage increases, sports betting, and teacher pay raises. “While the constitution limits discussion of general matters in this year’s session, there are many important state issues up for debate,” said Senate President Pro-Tempore Gerald Long. “I am hopeful that we will be able to work across party lines to pass meaningful legislation that best serves the interests of our state and citizens.” In advance of the start of the session, legislators pre-filed 221 Senate Bills and 583 House Bills for consideration.

Bird Festival to feature birding tours and exhibits The St. Bernard Bird Festival will be held on May 3rd and 4th and feature a demonstration by Sally Farrell of Wind in My Feathers. Mrs. Farrell will exhibit birds that she helped recover from injuries. Some of these beautiful birds are the American Kestrel, Missis- sippi Kite, and several species of owls. Bird catching and banding by our trained and licensed Audubon Louisiana experts can be observed at the Festival. The magnificent neo-tropical birds that they catch always amaze people with their beauty. Dr. Erik Johnson, Ph.D. of Audubon Louisiana, one of the fore- most experts on birds in Louisiana, will make a presentation enti- tled: “Costal Bird Conservation in a Vanishing Landscape”. Airboat tours to the Big Mar, which is one of the State’s largest rookeries, are being sponsored by Audubon Louisiana and St. Ber- nard Bird Festival. Other birding tours will be conducted by Expert Birder Glenn Ousset and also showcase exhibits by the St. Ber- nard Art Guild and several expert wood carvers. The Bird Festival will be held on the grounds of the Historic St. Bernard Courthouse, located at 1201 Bayou Road, St. Bernard, Louisiana. The Festival times are Friday, May 3rd from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday, May 4th from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The public is invited and there is no charge to enter the Festival area.

The weeklong series of events centered on business, innovation and entrepreneurial thinking, co-produced by the A. B. Freeman School of Business at Tulane University and The Idea Village, was held March 24-29 at the Ace Hotel and locations around the city. Through the combined efforts of the organizers and partner organizations, NOEW awarded $300,000 in funds and services to local entrepreneurs during pitch competitions throughout the week. The funds and services are meant to help boost startup companies in the Greater New Orleans region. “For more than a decade, NOEW continues to have an incredible impact on our region — not only in terms of direct outcomes for startup companies, but also for connecting the local community, maintaining an open front door to the startup ecosystem, and attracting re- gional and national attention to business in New Orle- ans,” said Jon Atkinson, CEO of The Idea Village. For a second year, NOEW partnered with other com- panies and nonprofits to host events in neighborhoods across the city, known as “NOEW In Your Neighbor- hood.” This year, 30 partners hosted 19 citywide events in eight neighborhoods: the Biomedical District, Central Business District, Central City, Irish Channel, Lakeview, Meraux, Seventh Ward and the Warehouse District. This year was also the first time the A. B. Freeman School of Business at Tulane University joined as a co-producer of the event. More than 30 Tulane pro- fessors, administrators and alumni presented during NOEW. Tulane also hosted its 19th annual Tulane Busi- ness Model Competition in its newly opened Stewart Center for Executive Education located in the CBD. “Over the last several years, the Freeman School has re-committed itself to serving the New Orleans busi- ness community through a wide range of programs and initiatives,” said Freeman School Dean Ira Solomon. “Partnering with The Idea Village to co-produce NOEW continues this effort to build connections and bring Freeman expertise to entrepreneurs across the region.” In its 11 years, NOEW partners have awarded more than $4.6M in cash and prizes to entrepreneurs, and nearly 800 entrepreneurs have been featured as part of the event. This year’s NOEW Summit conference fea- tured more than 120 speakers, including Marcus Lem- onis of CNBC’s “The Pitch” and “The Profit” TV shows; Jim Clark and Jim Barksdale, co-founder and former CEO of Netscape Communications; and Shelly Porges of the Billion Dollar Fund for Women.
