The late singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett had a deep connection to the New Orleans area, and a bill in the state legislature this session seeks to honor that.
Sen. Pat McMath's bill would rename part of the Highway 11 bridge between Slidell and New Orleans the "Jimmy Buffett 'Changes in Latitude' Memorial Crossing."
The Louisiana Senate Committee on Transportation, Highways, and Public Works approved McMath's bill Wednesday.
Buffett died September 1.
