The New Orleans City Council will then pass an ordinance that gives Krewes like Oshun, Zulu, etc. that meet certain "diversity" thresholds a $2,000 per float grant.

There is a reason Jefferson parades suck


The demographic and quality of Metry has changed too much to make a good parade viable.

Endymion does that so they can stay on their own route.

I don’t think that’s strictly true, the economic impact of Mardi Gras pays for its self, it doesn’t pay for as many other things as it used to.

Yeah, but she makes FB videos while she’s walking the city streets to keep her constituents updated. Shes the best ever.

Another carpet bagger. NO has enough home born incompetents that there is no need to import any.

What do you expect from the voting folks of NO.

You would think the dump Witch knew WTF was going on in the city after over a decade of grifting off the public coffers with that loudmouth Jason who does nothing too.

I am willing to bet almost every rider would pay $25 to not move to the Veterans route. Alla and Cleopatra aren't going back to west bank.

The parade named after Algiers, Louisiana not rolling in Algiers sucks. Not having the traditional neighborhood parades sucks. Especially if those krewes are still rolling elsewhere.

Yep. Never mind that incompetence of administration making high 6 figures. Vile repugnant thieves.


And I'd love to see how much tax delinquency there is in the city that they just let slide.

Probably like they did (or probably still do) in the city of Jackson, MS with water bills past due. And then blame the state for its water system failure.

This is going to escalate until the Krewes stage a Strike and don't roll one year.



Hope so. Could use a break from the retards setting up their tarp and ladder cities all over the fricking sidewalks and neutral grounds next year.

The neighborhoods along the old Algiers/West Bank route are not what they were before Katrina. You want no part of that route now.

Wow, a democrat that wants to raise taxes and fees. I am shocked.


I mean I get what you’re saying… but who was the last politician in Louisiana of either party that tried to cut taxes and fees? I think Jindal.. and he just tried to strip services instead.

Charge the hotels a fee? We riders are already spending too much to put on a FREE party. Everyone making money from the generosity of the riders
