Mitch Landrieu? @MayorLandrieu 21h21 hours ago

Would welcome @SenJohnKennedy's help with fed resources to fight crime. Instead, more political pandering.

quote:

“As a member of the powerful Senate Appropriations and Judiciary Committees, there is much Senator Kennedy can do to help—starting with investing federal funds in police departments and federal law enforcement agencies to help reduce violent crime here on the ground. I have continued to detail the ways Senator Kennedy can help to make our streets safe to no avail. He has not taken one concrete step toward making our city, state, or the nation any safer. It’s just the same old stuff, straight from the Vitter/Landry/Kennedy playbook.” “In my remaining 299 days in office, I will continue the focus on reducing violent crime with or without his assistance.”

But that should come as no surprise to those who have watched your career over the decades. You have always been the complainer-in-chief rather than a doer of deeds. For someone that worked so hard and tried so many times to become a U.S. Senator, your successes in the first six months in office does not give me hope for the next six years.

Please stop the political posturing and pandering––let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work.
Sincerely,
Mitchell J. Landrieu
Mayor, New Orleans
