Jeff Landry and Julia Letlow signed nondisclosure agreements with Meta. Under Jeff Landry, dozens of state officials and agencies also signed NDAs, including those related to Meta’s Hyperion data center in Richland Parish. Billy Nungesser signed an NDA for the LIV Golf tournament, which later filed for bankruptcy, and publicly questioned Jeff Landry’s use of these agreements. Nungesser stated he has been unable to obtain public information regarding water usage or electricity deals for these projects.
