The Louisiana Legislature's meeting on June 30, 2025, focused on discussions surrounding the Capital Area Road and Bridge District, with particular attention given to contractor relationships and potential conflicts of interest.

During the meeting, concerns were raised regarding Neil Schafer, identified as a subcontractor, and the involvement of Glenn Laday, the new secretary of the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD). A member expressed uncertainty about whether this relationship indicated a conflict of interest, prompting a request to review a specific slide from a presentation that detailed contractor information.

The committee agreed to provide the requested slide, indicating a willingness to ensure transparency. One member noted the presence of various contractors not previously recognized from the original project, suggesting a need for clarity on the project's team composition.

The meeting underscored the importance of oversight in contractor engagements and the necessity for clear communication regarding project personnel. As discussions continue, the committee aims to address these concerns and maintain accountability within the Capital Area Road and Bridge District's operations.
