Latoya Is At It Again

Now, she's filing for a temporary restraining order related the Council's ban on travel which she ignored when she recently went to a conference at Yale.
WDSU Story
"New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell is seeking a temporary restraining order on the New Orleans City Council's travel ban.
Cantrell filed her request for the restraining order Tuesday.
Advertisement
The mayor is asking for an immediate and permanent injunction of the ordinance blocking her ability to travel.
The council passed the ordinance that went into effect on March 9 and is set to expire at the end of April. However, the council is looking to extend the ban to the end of the next budget season, which is Dec. 31, 2025.
The ban was initially enacted after the administration backed out of a funding deal with the Orleans Parish School Board.
Despite the ban, Cantrell recently traveled to Yale, citing prior scheduling and payment before the ruling.
It is also in Cantrell's power to veto any ordinances from the council; however, she did not seek to do so before it was enacted.
Morrell's spokesperson, Monet Brignac, issued the following statement last week regarding the ordinance:
“This is a placeholder designed to extend the current travel ban once it expires. The Administration appears to have a fundamental misunderstanding of the law regarding the current ban. If the Administration intends to argue that the DC trip was permissible because it occurred during a layover period before the final vote, then this legislation provides the Council with the flexibility to extend the ban smoothly, without the need to create a new layover period.”
It is unclear when the council expects to vote on the extension. It is also unclear when a judge will take up the request.
WDSU has reached out to Cantrell's office and the New Orleans City Council for a comment regarding the restraining order. At the time of this publication, a response had not been received. "

In her defense, it is illegal for the council to be racist and stopping her from traveling is about as racist as it gets. She should have a strong case.

has there ever been a good black female mayor anywhere?

ChatGPT says yes.

Yes, there have been several prominent Black female mayors in the United States and abroad who have made significant impacts in their communities.
Here are a few examples:
Shirley Franklin (Atlanta, Georgia) – Elected in 2001, Franklin became the first Black woman to serve as mayor of a major Southern city. She was widely praised for her leadership during Atlanta's recovery after a period of economic hardship, focusing on urban revitalization, public safety, and improving the city's infrastructure.
Lena Horne (New Orleans, Louisiana) – A notable figure in the 1970s, Horne was the first Black female to serve as a mayor in the city of New Orleans. She played a major role in the civil rights movement, making sure Black communities were well represented.
Marilyn Strickland (Tacoma, Washington) – Before becoming a U.S. Congresswoman, Strickland served as the mayor of Tacoma from 2010 to 2018. She was the first Black woman to serve as mayor of the city and was known for her focus on economic development, sustainability, and improving community relations.
Eleanor Tinsley (Houston, Texas) – Tinsley made history in 1981 as one of the first Black women to serve as a council member, then moving on to the mayoral race as a finalist. Her leadership helped shape various aspects of Houston's political landscape.
There have been others in various cities across the U.S., and internationally, Black women have also served in significant leadership positions. Would you like more information about a specific person or city?

I really do not like Latoya
Posted on 3/18/25 at 2:25 pm to Gris Gris
Its wild that this woman was able to be elected twice while dodging a recall vote. And still just does whatever she pleases.

Nothing will happen to her. It’s been demonstrated repeatedly.
She is a black female mayor. Black female mayors and black female judges are almost untouchable.
She would have to shoot someone on live tv to actually be stopped and even then, it’s questionable

In the same report as this...

Horne was not a mayor.
But if she was, is AI saying that NOLA is not a major southern city, since AI also says Franklin - decades later - was the first black woman mayor of a major Southern city?
This is why I'm not afraid of AI.
