The current administration is doing everything they can to take the fun out of Mardi Gras. They tried everything they could to prevent Endymion from parading on the Mid City route. They enacted restrictions on throws that will be impossible to enforce. I wonder how many of the decision makers are actually from here. It seems as though they have never been to a Mardi Gras parade.

Yeah, telling rider to try not to throw their trash on the ground, try not to attempt to injure with packs of beads, and tell parade watchers to not hog the neutral ground...

I didn't know acting like an arse was what made Mardi Gras "fun"
