re: LaToya is pushin to allow City Employees to issue citations for quality of life violations

Are they allowed to cite themselves? I mean, they are the biggest violators if you look at infrastructure and any municipal responsibilities.

Police Academy 4 must've been on HBO yesterday.

The plan would allow the deputization of employees from the Department of Public Works, Department of Sanitation, the New Orleans Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, the Ground Transportation Bureau and the Mosquito, Termite and Rodent Control Board. Those deputized employees would have the ability to issue citations on a wide range of local laws that mostly revolve around garbage collection, illegal dumping, blocking the public drainage system, overgrown weeds, public right-of-way obstructions, rodent control and tour guide regulations.

These are all problems created by the city

write tickets to white people

Am I racist for reading the OP thinking it would primarily affect “people of color”?
Or as usual they will ignore them and write tickets to uptown types for not having their trash cans in by a certain time?

They're going to appoint about 20 HOA presidents, but their neighborhood is the whole fricking city.

Do they get paid extra for this? Or is it just a free extension of the police?

I have no issue with this honestly. Illegal dumping and garbage collection especially. Both major problems in the city but something NOPD doesn’t have the manpower or time to deal with.

New Orleans as a whole is a quality of life violation

We already have 311 for that shite.....

I'm no fan of the Destroya but being an Orleans resident I have no issue with this. If anything it's too little, too late. If a city employee can read and write and sees a derelict house or overgrown yard, please, issue a citation.

Rudy G. helped save NYC with his "broken windows" approach to quality of life.

Jefferson Parish does sweeps of entire neighborhoods citing violations. Though much of Jefferson is becoming a sh*thole like most of Orleans, at least they're trying to keep it decent for those who still live there and still care.
