Louisiana officials, league executives and New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson remained confident Tuesday that the first-ever NFL game in Paris, along with the whirlwind series of pre-game festivities and business events, will go on safely as planned despite the recent unrest across France.



my sister-in-law is going and I'm jealous.

I was hoping it would be the BLM protesters from a few years ago.

So she is using her own money that was paid to her by taxpayers to go watch the Saints play in Paris.


Her husband is loaded. Do you apply this same logic to anything a politician buys since it’s being paid money that was paid by tax payers.

I mean, this kinda makes sense...no?

It makes sense that she is taking advantage of her position to enjoy life. But it does not make sense that she is doing what is best for the city. Her job is in New Orleans. She should be devoting her life to making the government more efficient. That does not involve going to Paris.

As the mayor she is a representative of the city

Of all the things to worry about this doesn't even crack the top 500.

Jeff Landry is carrying a load of people too. Must be nice.


So in case of an emergency who are our acting governor and mayor.

Since the France trip is also about promoting tourism to Louisiana, I would assume that the Lt. Governor is also in France. Would Secretary of State Nancy Landry be acting governor while both are “out of the country” for more than 72 hours or whatever the law specifies or does it fall to the House speaker in the Legislature.

In NOLA, I would assume the city administrator or council chair would take the acting mayor title.

Neither the mayor or the governor should be there in official capacity.

Yeah, when I had work elsewhere. I never travelled for work in order to party, which is what she is doing.

Interesting.

So you've never done any fun client dinners, or shows, or President's Clubs, or anything fun at all? You just go from your hotel, to the office, and back to your hotel each day?

Also, how do you know the mayor's itinerary?

The governor is going too and he hates New Orleans and his detail is state paid.
Helena doesn't seem to even have a detail. That JPSO in the video is an airport got he didn't go with.

Obviously. Should representatives of the city follow the city sports teams around?

Are we limited to 500?

Are people really whining about the mayor going to Paris? She’s paying her own way
