This is what "long term Covid " really means

So vote them out until they change the laws. Emergency powers need to be killed.

On her own she gave herself the power to take property without due process? Or is she citing some sort of authority?
Isn't this similar to what the governor in Hawaii signed shortly before the fires?

Have a hard time in the 5th district defending these. I mean, wtf does suspending gun sales even do against saltwater?

her whole admin has been about crushing local ownership and empowering corporate interests to buy up prime NOLA real estate

All parish presidents have this power. Mike Cooper (St Tammany parish President) has issued similar statements a couple of times.
None of them should have it, but they do.

Those are pretty broad "emergency powers." A strict reading of that means the mayor's office can seize your home if they deem it necessary for an emergency, whatever that even means.
Who gets to determine what an "emergency" is?
Many people interpret this as applying to hurricanes, but the implications are so much more broad.
Hopefully someone sues to bring this back in. I'd like to see the Supreme Court weigh in; they live in NOLA, too...

Is LaToya chief executive over Orleans Parrish?

I don’t think it means they can seize your property for anything more than temporary use. I would surmise it means they can utilize it if needed to directly mitigate the emergency.
I would also imagine there would be repercussions available to the property owner if this were abused (which it seems is the commonplace usage of these “emergency powers” with the tyrannical Latoyas and of the world). Truly, they should get locked up if this is ever abused to any degree.

That may be a copy and paste form that the city has for declaring a state of emergency. They just type in the emergency in a paragraph and the rest is added automatically or copied and pasted from a previous declaration. Some of the paragraphs or orders that may not even apply to this type of “emergency” are in the declaration or just left in. It is probably done to comply with a state code or policy.
All that a state of emergency is really supposed to do is to cut out the city council prereview powers for emergency expenditures and actions that come up due to an emergency.
Also, they are only valid for 30 days, but can continue to be renewed almost indefinitely if needed.
It is not a legal shield or get out of jail free card as state law and city policies still must be followed, except for maybe the public bid law. So if the city needs 1 million cases of water from vendor x, they can just buy it and not have to go to bid and get multiple bids and then get city council approval for the purchase. The council does have to go back and fund the expenditures from the state of emergency.

Thomas Jefferson was right - you deserve the government you elect.

The NOLA conservatives would like to add the following:
... "and when the corruption in city government gets so bad 10% of registered voters may petition for a recall vote on the Mayor" but first the true voter rolls must be reviewed and corrected.

Yep, Orleans and East Baton Rouge are weird. The mayors of New Orleans and Baton Rouge are Mayor-President of the unified city-parish government.
