This is a pattern. The city was dead broke until Biden got in and used the printing press to bail it out.
Trump will not do the same.

Funny how well off and better Texas and Mississippi were after hurricane relief.

New Orleans looks worse than it did before. Lot of crooks. People still choose to live there and give them money thru taxes tho.

The best thing you can do for you and your families during this troubling time is to get vaccinated.

Just heard on WWL radio that stupid bitch Teedy just informed the City Council that the City may not be able to meet payroll for the rest of the year. Can’t believe that the City had a chance to remove that ignorant bitch from office and didn’t do it.

OPSB still has no clue whether it is missing 40, 50 million whatever …
And #3 is running the show after the Superintendent and CFO “resigned”.
Unreal incompetence
Oh and FEMA about to pull back a billion the morons could not properly use in 20 years after Katrina

Teedy too busy traveling on taxpayer money and fricking her bodyguard in an apartment that wasn’t her’s to worry about that FEMA money-unless she could steal it.

Don't worry, the new progressive from out of state that was just elected will fix this. Just wait.

Oh, and somehow this is Trump's fault.

Cantrell budgeted a total of $57,500 for overtime.

The in the first six weeks of the year-

Bourbon Street Terrorist's Attack
Snowstorm
Super Bowl

Couple that with Mardi Gras and the prison break you are looking at over $57 million in overtime not $57K.

quote:

The reasons for not budgeting for overtime weren’t explained Wednesday, and a Cantrell administration official declined to comment.

The worst thing that will happen is another down grade of the city’s bond rating. The amount of interest is going to be insane. Hampers any new municipal projects and scares off a lot of potential investors. frick Teedy, frick Mitch the Bitch. They destroyed any improvements post Katrina.
