I’m disappointed so many people are ok with the State using broad constitutional authority to override a legitimate local electoral outcome and diminish local democratic governance.
City is insolvent and is permanently attached to the state tit, so they are calling the shots now.

Of course you are, lol. All you have is grievance politics and you cry over everything.

Senator Jay Morris, who does not live in New Orleans and does not meaningfully engage with Orleans Parish Criminal Court, authored legislation reshaping a local institution for residents he does not represent. Legislators from across the state then imposed that decision on a parish whose voters had already spoken at the ballot box.
The people of Orleans are represented in the legislature with their duly elected senators, and house members.
It’s not like they don’t have a say in what’s going on here.

How is the office made more efficient by eliminating the clerk but maintaining his building, office, duties and staff? The lone clerk now has to travel between offices a mile apart. What specifically is more efficient about that?
God, do everyone here a favor and shut the frick up.
Orleans parish courts are systemically bloated and inefficient. The caseload that would require the number of judges in Orleans is not there compared to other parishes. So having too many judges and “backlogs” of cases as you indicate (which I agree) means the system is broken.
The answer is to fix the infrastructure, not keep throwing money and resources at something that’s broken.
And your commentary on a person not being able to manage two offices a mile apart is bullshite as well. I manage five departments spread across 5 different states and I do just fine; but I also work for a private company and I hire competent people and we’re constantly evolving and creating new efficiencies so we can take on more workload.
That is NOT how any agency in Orleans is run. Anyone who’s had to deal with any agency in New Orleans knows you’re going to fight an army of lazy and/or otherwise incompetent persons who aren’t qualified to run a lemonade stand on the side of the road, let alone staff critical parish agencies. And it remains that way because of people/voters like you who defend it and won’t allow improvement or efficiencies because that would force you to reconcile how shitty this parish is truly run and the staggering number of mongoloids that fill its payroll.

How do the changes address anything systemically?
It’s the same system, just fewer actors. I don’t disagree that some judges might be part of the problem, but this legislation doesn’t do anything to address problematic judges or practices.

I am not defending anything. I am expressing grave concerns over the governor using the legislature to circumvent the will of voters in order to settle a petty political score.

There are a couple of HBs currently working their way through that consolidate criminal and civil parallel structures (that exist no where else in La. except NOLA) and that would allow the removal of judges by the Gov and Legislature (I’m sure you’d hate this) as well as set the resources for the system based on workload need, not static numbers.

See above comment about reducing duplicate staff. Also, my original post about staffing people who can manage doing more than 2-3 simple tasks a day.

Seems like the Gov and Legislature went through a completely legal process to remove an unnecessary position.
Is it your position that the NOLA judiciary doesn’t need reform? Is it also your position the Gov and state legislature should have no say in that?

Would you like this practice if a Democrat was in charge? This is absolutely insane. Why not just let the governor pick all the judges?

It seems like the governor used the legislature to settle a petty political score. You may delight in that because New Orleans bad but anyone who values democratic governance would find this very suspicious.

You don’t like the results of a constitutionally legal process used by the governor and state legislature, so you’re crying foul.
God forbid the people and bodies with the actual legal authority to stamp out government waste, abuse, and inefficiency decide to do exactly that. NOLA has no entitlement to keep wasting taxpayer money on its inefficient and ineffective judiciary system, especially when the Governor, state legislature, and state Supreme Court are all in agreement on what needs to happen.
I’m done responding to you. You’re a muppet. There’s just no other explanation for your garbage takes and constant need for attention.

Did anyone else make an Orleans parish criminal clerk protest this weekend?
Posted on 5/11/26 at 5:53 pm to ibldprplgld
New Orleans needs two offices full of ineffective workers, bigot.

When was it? In the rain Saturday or was it on Mother’s Day?

You are incapable of critical thought. All you know is “everything republicans do is awesome. Everyone not republicans do is evil.”
Although I sort of envy you, thoughtlessly dancing through life in a bankrupt and corrupt state run primarily by “Republicans.” At least you can keep cheering for your team. You’ll never have to turn your brain on here. They will make sure of it.

Right. Voters only have authority when they vote for Republicans

Legislators have commonly introduced bills which affect other parts of Louisiana outside their districts, especially on spending issues, regardless how voters residing in those outside districts feel about it or how they have voted.
The same is true for congressmen and U.S. senators..
You act like this situation is unique only to this New Orleans issue and only here and now.
It reinforces the board's perception that you suffer from profound ignorance.

ETA re: “the board’s perception” of me
I was talking to a much older coworker recently about office politics. She’s very sensitive and there are a couple of miserable women who can be petty and ugly that work with us. She asked me how I don’t get bothered by them and I told her that I don’t care what people I don’t respect think of me.

I guess we have that in common.
