Russel Honoré, retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General, will speak at the Baton Rouge Press Club on July 15. Honoré will discuss the Bayou Corne sinkhole in Assumption Parish and the possible need for greater federal and state oversight of commercial operations that potentially affect the lives and safety of Louisiana citizens.
