He decided to watch the golfing action on his laptop rather than follow the proceedings of the House Judiciary Committee. It would be no problem if Richmond was a golf fan watching at home.

In the world of politics, yesterday's competitor is today's friend.  Today Cedric Richmond, Congressman from the 2nd Congressional District, which includes New Orleans, addressed the House regarding the 300th anniversary of the city and the significant election of the first female to be mayor of that city.

New Orleans, has made strong advances in the area of technology over the years.

At the beginning of this decade, GE Capitol opened up a large headquarters in the city which put a large skin on the wall to promote. Today, the city and the State of Louisiana announced they landed a really big one, DXC Technology, a multi-billion international enterprise that is one of the largest companies in the world.
