French Quarter board chair Pendleton calls out Cantrell, NOPD for lack of urgency on crime

Christian Pendleton, board chair of French Quarter Management District, said he’s disturbed by a perceived lack of urgency from Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s administration and the NOPD when it comes to violent crime in the city’s most heavily trafficked tourist area.
“There’s just this nonchalance to it,” Pendleton said. “‘You know, we’re working on a holistic approach…’ Ladies and gentlemen, people are being shot at an alarming clip, and this nonchalant attitude towards it is dumbfounding.
Pendleton, also the general manager of Brennan’s Restaurant, relayed his frustration to WWL Radio’s Tommy Tucker and said he’s not just being glib.
“That’s the way it comes across,” Pendleton said. “They might say, ‘That’s not fair,’ or ‘That’s a mischaracterization.’ I have a feeling that if I clapped my hands and made Tommy Tucker the mayor of New Orleans starting tomorrow, among your top five things would be sitting down with the chief of police saying, ‘I want a plan in 72 hours of how we’re going to [curb violence]. And when the chief says, ‘I’m gonna need more resources,’ the response is, ‘I’ll figure that out. You tell me what you need to knock this off.’ I don’t think that conversation has ever taken place. And the fact that it hasn’t… why?”
Pendleton said the problem stretches back further than the current administration.
“I think they’re stuck in a rut of trying to justify all of the resources that get pumped into the French Quarter,” Pendleton said. “But at the same time acknowledging that the city needs the tax dollars that are generated in the French Quarter.”

“We need money”
“Well how are y’all going to use the money?”

Maybe this will get Torres to stop supporting Cantrell.
Really wish he would chose to sit this one out if his only option is supporting Cantrell. I understand his business angle, but can't forgive him pushing her to another 4 years.

Where does the money go?
Pumps don’t work
Potholes aren’t fixed
Number of police is down
Where are they spending the money ?

How the hell is she at 62% approval.

Because they poll NOLA, and not this Board.
From what I hear, she’s unlikely to have serious opposition.

If accurate, that city is even dumber than I thought
City is truly fricked because it’s idiotic citizens can’t get out of their own and continue to elect inept and corrupt leadership

Mr Pendleton just doesn’t understand. You have do these things in phases. You can’t fix everything at once. These things take time. Right now we are only in

They came out the weekend before and filled holes in the street behind mine with asphalt. But most of the street is just dirt and gravel. I shite you not, poured asphalt into several holes in gravel. So now you have a rocky road with black patches everywhere.

Cantrell has been such a massive disappointment as mayor of New Orleans. It became apparent she was in over her head early on and the people in that city have really suffered for it.

People, and I mean people in the city that have a voice and a platform are starting to speak up. Too bad I feel it’s just going to fall on deaf ears and may be a little too late.
However, I met a black person at a bar in Atlanta last night that is from New Orleans and graduated from Dillard. This person said the educated black people in nola do not support Latoya.
I showed this person the woman that is running against Latoya, her website and her campaign, and this person straight up said “she will beat Cantrell”
I shite you not
