New Orleans issues affect the entire state as the city is really one of the lifelines in this state.
New Orleans only affects the state insofar as the amount of taxes generated in the city that are sent to the state legislature, so that the money committee chairmen (currently from Jonesboro, LA, and Harrisonburg, LA, respectively) can be pilfer those taxes generated by New Orleans to their poor, rural districts.
If tourism drops or dies in New Orleans, then the tax redistribution plan is impacted, and no conservative representing a poor district wants that.

We need to be taking control away from the state, not giving more control to the state.
And yes, that means that liberal cities will have crappy DAs elected by their liberal, crappy citizens.
Prosecutorial discretion is a big problem, but it seems like every solution is even worse.
And part of the discretion issue is because, what's the point of proseuting if the judge is going to give a slap on wrist?

How about giving the state AG the authority to dismiss the DA and local judges for every district over 200,000 people? Then allow the AG to take over those districts or appoint an interim until an election is held. That would be New Orleans, East Baton Rouge, Jefferson, and probably Lafayette. Maybe Livingston, St Tammany, Caddo, and Ascension one day if they grow.
I don’t want to go after New Orleans leaders because one day the tables can turn and a different administration can go after St Bernard or Jefferson leaders the same way
