1. East Jefferson property transfers for Dec. 6-12, 2025. See a list of home and other sales. (nola.com) — If you’re watching Metairie’s housing market, this week’s East Jefferson property transfers show dozens of local homes changing hands, with prices ranging from the low $100,000s to well over $700,000. The list includes single-family houses, condos, and donations across familiar Metairie streets and neighboring communities like Harahan, Kenner, Jefferson, and River Ridge.
   

2. NFIB Member to Testify on Concerns Over Parish E-File Systems (nfib.com) — A Metairie-based small-business executive will testify Friday about a proposed parish e-file tax system he says could sharply raise administrative costs and paperwork for local companies. The plan would force more frequent filings, require reconciling parish and state sales figures, and roll out on a tight Jan. 1 timeline that business advocates argue is unrealistic without better communication and fixes.
   

3. Tulane fan writes theme song for Green Wave's historic playoff run (fox8live.com) — A Metairie Tulane fan and a New Orleans musician are riding high as the Green Wave makes its first-ever College Football Playoff run, complete with a new hype song. With Tulane facing Ole Miss for a shot at the national title, both men say this moment captures a powerful regional spirit that’s been building for decades.

Trump nominees David Courcelle and Paul Hollis confirmed by Senate (nola.com) — A Metairie-based defense attorney, David Courcelle, has been confirmed as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana, which includes Jefferson Parish and Metairie. Alongside him, Covington’s Paul Hollis won Senate approval to lead the U.S. Mint, bringing local connections into two influential national posts that will still closely touch southeast Louisiana.
