LaToya da Destroya putting NOLA on lockdown.

Happening now on WDSU live.

She says this “Guidance Document” draws its legal authority from the emergency order she previously signed. So her order draws its legal authority from another of her orders? Ummmm....

Critical Businesses are allowed to stay open. These include banks, restaurants (take out and drive thru), construction, blah, blah, blah. Just added hardware stores to the list. I think it would have been shorter to say what had to stay closed. No “conrgegit” - “you know hanging around” when you pick up food. No walk in ordering?

Working to reduce jail populations of non-violent offenders. Juvenile Court was supposed to work on this “on yesterday.”

STAY AT HOME means “stay at home.” Don’t look for excuses, stay at home.

First FEDERAL testing site in US opened today as per doctor hottie. Then LaToya returns to podium to take complete credit for opening the testing station.

She also just asked all businesses to “please submit your sales taxes.” Not sure how that will go over.

AND THERE IT IS - very first question from the media: How will you enforce this? Ummm, personal responsibility and we will ask the citizens to do the right thing. In other words, this order carries zero legal authority.

NOLA.com link - you may to need to use incognito

LOL!!! Reporter just asked her to name non-essential businesses. Her answer: “barber shops, beauty salons, nail salons, you know it goes deep.” Is that really the three that leaped out at her? Yes it was!
