re: Press Secretary Zacharia does a good job of explaining the controversy

For someone so consumed with spectacle, this is a bewildering choice from Trump.
She’s very pretty. Maybe the explanation is just that simple.
Being away from her kids is probably insanely freeing for now, but I’m sure that will get old pretty quickly.

I guess it could be like a just curious type of question, but is it common for press secretaries to be licensed attorneys?
There isn't a shortage of attorneys in the USA.

Trash is one of those things that could easily be done by a private company, but in a city as ghetto as NO, most residents would choose to leave their trash on the street instead of paying for it to be removed.
If you have no idea about something, just don't post. Private companies have picked up trash in New Orleans for decades.

You've hijacked this thread because why? And then you have the nerve to accuse me of sobbing about something that you won't shut up about.

What? The city CUT 5.6 million from an office that no longer exists. What part of this are you struggling with?
This is a proposal. Look up the definition of "proposal," darling. The legislature abolished the position of "clerk of criminal court" while the office remains open and staff remains employed. That's the efficiency you are so proud of.

You're mad that after criticizing Landry and the state legislature, I'm now criticizing Helena Moreno and City Council. Why does that bother you?

Not that I'm trying to, but I can't win with you people.

You're not good understanding what you read, and you clearly aren't familiar with any of this.
How much money was actually saved by consolidating the clerks?
quote:So you're contradicting your own previous claim that $5MM was saved when the legislature settled Landry's petty political score.
The big picture: The Moreno administration proposes eliminating the Orleans Parish criminal clerk's budget of $5.62 million in 2027.

Dont you have a recent thread on here where you are sobbing over the state cutting a redundant clerk position and consolidating that into one position? Where that action of consolidation will now save the city over 5 million dollars?
That you?
You would rather pay for elections and then pay legislators to render the election taxes just paid for obsolete only to continue paying for both Clerk's physical offices to remain opened and staff to remain employed. That's your way of promoting small-government efficiency and you are entitled to live out your delusions while I continue to value democratic governance and a limited executive branch of every level of government.
Were did you come up with the $5MM figure? I know that wasn't the salary of the office holder so where exactly are these savings coming from?

A LOT of details were released about him and his grifts about a year ago. He's a POS grifter and friend or customer of the current mayor (and probably the last mayor, too). I haven't heard much about him lately. I'm sure he's still cashing checks, though.
And another thing, so many libraries have been closed since the summer. The library system is actually funded so fix the fricking HVAC or whatever is causing so many branches to remain closed. The one closest to my house has been closed and so has the branch in Lakeview, among others. The people at the Mid-City branch are rude.
They should cut NORD funding because all the booster clubs have to fund themselves and pay for their own playground/park maintenance. NORD money just pays salaries for welfare queens.

The crook tax assessor increased property values just a year or two ago for everyone that isn't related to him. Or sitting on City Council.
Hey Mayor, don't pay your buddy Joe G $300,000 to be CAO. Let's start there.
ETA: Reminding everyone that our trash service was already cut 50% after Ida with no service cost reduction.

My contention with critical theory is it initially fixates on a target, the supposed system beneficiary. It then concludes that any identified beneficiaries achieve such status via oppression of others who concurrently suffer within those systems. From that point, it begins a fact search to support the conclusion, while attacking efforts to question the conclusion.
Wasn't this the GOP talking point in 2024, too?
