Montgomery: Alabama public health officials are warning people to avoid eating any fish from some state waterways because of contamination. The state Department of Public Health issued its latest fish consumption advisories this month. They are based on nearly 500 samples of specific fish species taken during the fall of 2020 from 41 bodies of water, health officials said. Restrictions on consumption are broken down by waterbody and presented as the safe number of meals of a species that can be eaten in a given period of time. In some locations, people are advised to avoid all fish. Mercury is often cited as the fish contaminant of concern.

FILE - In this April 12, 2021, file photo, Senate President Page Cortez speaks with a colleague during opening day of the Louisiana legislative session in Baton Rouge, La. Momentum is building for Louisiana lawmakers to hold a historic veto override session, with Cortez announcing Wednesday, June 30 that senators are likely to support the effort to try to overturn Gov. John Bel Edwards bill rejections. Cortez said Edwards spurning of a bill banning transgender athletes from competing on school sports teams of their identified gender appeared to have spurred enough backing among senators for the mid-July veto session.
