Louisiana's AG doesn't like how NOLA officials have handled the state's abortion ban. So he's gotten the state's bond commission to withhold approving a credit line for flood infrastructure.

Louisiana officials stall New Orleans flood funds over abortion - POLITICO

Citing New Orleans' officials' stance on abortion, the Louisiana State Bond Commission has twice voted to delay approval of a $39 million line of credit for a power station to run the city's drainage pumps, which have been described as critical for its ability to adapt to climate change.
