Budget Deficit now appears to be $222,000,000. Remember earlier this year Teedy said NoLA had a surplus.

But don't worry Helena the Grifter who has been on City Council for years and was tasked with overseeing this stuff is suddenly going to clean it all up.

They need to recall all of these corrupt clowns. NoLA cannot fix this.

Lah-terya paved that way, she even had to pay back money charged on a city credit card in order to run for mayor the first time. LINK

quote:

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Public records show New Orleans mayoral candidate Latoya Cantrell used more than $8,000 of taxpayer money for personal expenses on her city-issued credit card. Cantrell paid the money back, but in some cases years after making the purchases.

However, her opponent, Desiree Charbonnet, questions more than $20,000 of additional purchases, for which she argues Cantrell never kept proper records.

Days after qualifying for the mayoral race, Cantrell reimbursed the city $4,400 for personal charges made on her City Council credit card. The purchases include charges that date back to 2013, including a $318 payment at the Limelight Lodge in Aspen.

It was not the first time Cantrell reimbursed the city for personal charges.


It's like being a shite manager of city finances is now an unspoken qualification for someone to win the Mayor's seat.

Dems can manage their own finances.
Now gimme those federal funds and that payday loan.
Then we can crack a forty, have a party.

sooner it fails, the sooner we can do something about the white liberals wrecking a once world class city. then real change can happen. NOLA is a case study on allowing democrats to run a city for generations. democrats are utter failures.

incredibly, New Orleans has liberal women holding all of the top positions in the city.

it's clearly doing wonders for the place.

Too many people costing taxpayers money without paying taxes themselves. Has NOLA ever not been corrupt?

So the timeline for New Orleans losing its "world class city status" started when? When what white liberal did what?

Some would suggest the downfall started with “white flight.”

I guess tourism does not pay what it used to pay.

The political leaders are reflective of the people. If the council are corrupt clowns, it is because most New Orleanians are corrupt clowns. The situation is hopeless. The population will not change.

New Orleans started becoming dysfunctional when Moon became mayor? Good to know. At least we pinpointed a date.

What you get for hiring Democrat mayors. They don't know how to budget. Only spend, spend, spend. How about start by not wasting money on making apps helping illegals evade ICE.

It’s only broken to the people that still live there. For those of us that have gotten out it’s just a constant reminder of how terrible that state really is. The longer people stay and submit to the buffoonery, the worse of the lives of the participants will be. But hey the food is amazing!!

Feel free to pick one of the Democrats that served as mayor before Moon, but Moon's administration is a great place to start.

The ones that had bleeding hearts, and chose to lower the standards in schools, all while defending criminality at every opportunity.

In short, check your mirror:
