re: NOLA withdraws application to Bond Commission

So now New Orleans includes Jefferson and St. Tammany? I would argue these Parishes are more of an economic driver than Orleans Parish. And I can't tell you how many Orleans residents leave the city to shop in Jefferson.

I don't think I understand all I need to know about this dilemma.

CIty of NO and the governor got into a pissing contest over merging two Clerk of Court offices in Orleans Parish. Governor won with the state SC.
City tried to appoint a temporary clerk to the merged position, claiming it was a new position and not new duties on an existing position.
AG sent a letter to NO Mayor and City Council advising them that doing that would put them in violation of state laws regarding usurping of offices and would put them in danger of being thrown out of office themselves.
NO mayor and/or city council gets butthurt over this and has AG indicted for intimidation and other charges over sending the letter, which was in the course of the job duty.
State SC is not amused and not only meets after hours on a holiday weekend to put a stay on it but has to come back and clarify that the arrest warrant for the AG is also quashed, which was supposed to be implicit in the prior order. (IOW, the second ruling was a “We’re spelling it out for you fricking dumbasses” order.)
City of NOLA subsequently withdraws application to the bond commission for the ability to raise money because the state government is likely not going to agree to anything helping NOLA after this horseshite.

What cop is she blowing on the city’s dime?

According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis Orleans Parish has 3rd highest GDP in Louisiana. East Baton Rouge is first and Jefferson is second.
Yep, I posted a link to this data earlier in the thread. Jefferson Parish's proximity to New Orleans contributes heavily to its ability to produce GDP.

She's smarter and more calculated. Just as petty, though.

And the greater BR area still has more economic activity than the greater NO area.

New Orleans is a cesspool and a cancerous tumor on the whole state of Louisiana.
I think Louisiana does pretty well on it's own....
I love the way people shite on New Orleans... and I do as well....
But people act like the city doesn't do shite for the sate....
it 's the biggest tourist destination in the state... People aren't flocking to Lake Charles, Shreveport or Baton Rouge..
Pretty sure the city draws the most and biggest conventions in the state...
No other city in Louisiana is drawing major sports franchise.
It's the biggest port city in the state
What else am I leaving out?

JP may actually be dwindling faster than Orleans as being any sort of legitimate economic catalyst.

If Cubbies is anything close to representative of the average New Orleanian the FO stage will be fascinating to watch.
I doubt I am. I honestly have no idea which characteristics "the average New Orleanian" would embody.
The average New Orleanian sure does love New Orleans, though, so I have that going for me.

That doesn't really address what I posted, though. We're examining things as they currently are.

The term "may" was used as it is based on personal observation.
Can you think of any big economic driver that began in JP in the past 25 years? I can't.
Are you aware of any data showing JP is anywhere close to keeping up with the average economic pace of similarly situated suburban regions of the rest of the country? I'm not.
For the record, I also think it's pretty laughable to see people here trying to tout BR in comparison to the NOLA region.
We are basically talking the Special Olympics of economic development, especially when compared to most of the rest of the Sunbelt region.

That's the Twitter version of what's happening - appeals to emotions and ignores nuance and substance.

So this is your opinion...
Actually, since covid, it's lowest point, Jefferson Parish's GDP is the highest it's ever been...
JP GDP

Sure, the whole metro is bleeding population and, thus, any hope for significant economic catalysts.
I'm not gloating about this fact, by the way.

Are you suggesting that's "showing JP is anywhere close to keeping up with the average economic pace of similarly situated suburban regions of the rest of the country"?

You said it was "dwindling" faster than New Than New Orleans... When it's actually going up... That's all I'm pointing out...
Ever been back in Elmwood, ever been on the river in Jefferson, ever been on the Harvey Canal? I'm sure there's much more productivity I'm leaving out.
