NEW ORLEANS —
A government watchdog says New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell is holding her former apartment hostage, and now the city council is fighting back.

This comes six months after the city council passed an ordinance putting it up for rent.

Mayor Cantrell's use of the Pontalba apartment has been scrutinized throughout her second term.

The city council passed an ordinance limiting all mayors from using the apartment as a home with no overnights.

Months later, city leaders say she broke that ordinance.

That's when they chose to take it away indefinitely.

"I am told that the mayor is refusing to remove all of her belongings, and that is part of the reason for that impediment or attempting to learn more about this, but what is confirmed is that six months after that apartment is ordered to go back on the market it hasn't done so."


That's easily resolved:




And then finally...

It has come to our attention that Umit 530B has not yet been surrendered to the FMC and that furniture and personal effects remain in the premises. It is also my understanding that you and members of your executive protection detail possess the only keys to the unit. Until the property is cleared and the keys are turned over, FMC cannot begin the repairs necessary to lease the unit, as required by law. It is particularly important that FMC be given access immediately, given that the property is in need of major renovations to cure water damage.

. This is going to get even messier. So embarrassing.

Apparently there are no locksmiths in New Orleans.

Can you express in your own words why you think this is a problem? You vote for people like this, so please tell me why you think their behavior will change.

Can you express in your own words why you’re sure of my voting record? Please tell me why your posts to me are always antagonizing and rude. You act like I did something to you. Your assumptions about me are based on rumors you’ve heard from other people who also have never met me and don’t know how I vote.


It’s annoying and pointless.

Don’t answer a question with a question. Please explain

This is based on your posting history.
Thanks though.

And when did I talk about who I vote for?

I don’t come here to talk about politicians. I come here to discuss policy.
Thanks though.

ETA: LaToya is my exception to discussing politicians. She’s the worst though.

So you’re incapable or unwilling. That makes a lot more sense. You should be proud of this. It’s a product of your announced voting record. Why don’t you support the fruits of your labor?

I have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re looking for a petty internet catfight.

No, you want us to discuss your failures. Your voting record, and your support of these people, is trash. Get your shite together.

That’s because you continually prove yourself to be not very bright. I can’t help you with that.
