Jefferson parish has a parish president, while Orleans has a mayor....why the different use of terms? How is the term determined?
Orleans Parish and New Orleans are coterminous - i.e. one and the same, geographically. There really isn't a "Parish" government in Orleans - its just a city government. It wouldn't make sense to also have a Parish government because they'd be governing the exact same thing.
Becase Orleans Parish is no longer distinguishable from the city of New Orleans, New Orleans could be considered, in form, an independent city.
