Since February's winter storm gas prices have been on the rise in Louisiana. You might not believe just how much more you're paying today than you were paying only six months ago.
Some communities in the state continue their slow recovery from lower oil prices. Meanwhile, other communities are experiencing record growth because of natural gas and the chemical industry.
I'm thankful my husband still has his job in the oilfield, but there are many families in south Louisiana who are suffering because of the drop in oil prices. I know it scares me, and it's a real fear for them.
