Orpheus or Thoth are the only two possibilities

Bacchus and Orpheus have both already released statements saying they'll roll and they'll comply.

ETA: Both of them made it a point to say they're complying with "requests" and "recommendations". They're not using language suggesting that it's an order they're following.

So they are in effect adding floats without penalty from existing city ordinances.


Hence my source was likely correct - the krewes are still parading in full

Two people get killed in 4 days, what would you do as mayor of the city. Something has to happen

I agree with this and another poster said the same thing.
Hire people to walk onside the floats


quote:

Errol Laborde, a leading Mardi Gras historian, said after the new rule was announced that he didn't see how an 11th-hour ban on tandem floats would work, in part because it might be difficult to line up enough extra tractors.
For now, he said, "a fairly easy solution would be to have security guards walking along the breaks in the tandem floats."
"You can do it overnight," Laborde said. "If they have security guards, they can deal with the problem in the short-term."

MLK loved civil disobedience.

Does she want to be on the side with the dogs and water cannons?

Common sense is in short supply at city hall. For the sake of optics that probably should have been done after Wednesday....now the mayor looks like even more of a buffoon.

More barricades or security. What if someone died under a regular float do you cancel all parades?

I am curious to see how quickly Latoya takes up the float issue after Mardi Gras. I bet she would prefer the city focusing on how Mardi Gras will change instead the Hard Rock/city building inspectors and juvenile crime.

Tonight’s incident involved a tandem float but it wasn’t caused by a tandem float. This was a dumb knee jerk government overreaction.

What does this have to do with anything? How many bankruptcies has the current President filed? What about Trump University? Literally stole money from normal everyday citizens
