Fix New Orleans

Time to fix crime, roads, and other basic local government failures plaguing our amazing city for decades. Demand better, prioritize differently. #NOLASky

👏 Appreciate @helenamorenola.com agreeing to appear on Newell Normand’s show at least once a month to take questions and provide updates. A major improvement over the current administration. #nolasky

👏 Good riddance to the NOPD consent decree. #nolasky www.nola.com/news/crime_p...
New Orleans Police Department's consent decree can end after 12 years, judge declares
The federal consent decree has governed nearly every aspect of the NOPD since former mayor Mitch Landrieu agreed to it in 2012 after a scathing review by the U.S. Justice Department.

"Crime is down, but is 80 murders... good?" Mayor Edwards takes the common sense position that Baton Rouge can benefit from the National Guard and welcomes their presence. Sadly, again, none of the highest-polling New Orleans mayoral candidates will put safety and order first. #lagov #nolasky

🎡 "This young man should have never been on the street." Court records show the suspect in the deadly Mid-City carjacking case was sentenced to a year behind bars for assaulting a teacher; but was given probation. So he moved on to carjacking and murder. #lagov #lalege #nolasky

👏 “I am 100% behind bringing [the National Guard] here,” Baton Rouge Mayor-President Sid Edwards said last week. He recounted times he comforted families who lost loved ones to crime. Why don’t New Orleans political candidates speak this way and welcome help when crime is such a problem? #nolasky

Bringing in the National Guard is "problematic for so many reasons?" We had *eight* homicides in the city last week. Eight. Including a shootout on Bourbon Street that took the life of a tourist celebrating her birthday. Is that not problematic? Not even mentioned. #nolasky

"An overwhelming majority (73.7%) of North Carolinians surveyed said they support holding judges responsible when they release offenders who go on to commit violent crimes such as murder." How NC lawmakers responded to Iryna Zarutska's murder. #lalege #nolasky www.carolinajournal.com/one-month-af...
One month after her murder, Senate passes Iryna's Law
The North Carolina Senate has approved “Iryna’s Law,” a measure that changes pretrial release rules, eliminates cashless bail, and makes other adjustments to the state’s criminal justice system.

Sheriff Hutson has been a disaster. Why is it so hard to say, "no, she should not run again. New Orleans deserves much better?" Yet again, though, no calls for resignation. Not one. But all run on accountability. #nolasky

Four #lalege members are running for city positions. Royce Duplessis (Mayor), Delisha Boyd (City Council at Large), Matthew Willard (City Council at Large), and Jason Hughes (City Council District E). All run on public safety. Here's how they voted on crime session bills. #nolasky

Leading New Orleans political candidates don’t like to talk about enforcing the law. It’s politically uncomfortable. They’re quick to check the box on crime and move on. But crime and vagrancy are still significant problems that chase residents (and potential residents) away. 🧵#nolasky

Broad Theater tried to host a Super Bowl-related event; but the theater flooded, again. The NFL Players Association wasn't able to get out of their vehicles to attend. One of so many reasons we need a #lalege caucus to help guard against city government fails. #lagov #nolasky

All three mayoral candidates run on accountability. Yet, even with constant chaos in city hall, the city in such poor condition, and the mayor under indictment, not one candidate thinks she should resign. If Cantrell's behavior isn't resignation worthy, what would be? #nolasky

It's disappointing that the DA's testimony included frivolous accusations of racism and bias. There are *real* problems in the DA's office. Many New Orleans residents and fellow Louisianans are thankful to Sen. Jay Morris, #lalege, and hearing participants for digging into them. #nolasky

As you might imagine, James Carville is against National Guard deployment in New Orleans. He appeared on Media Buzz with @howardkurtz.bsky.social this morning. "But crime is down" argument (sort of). No acknowledgement of 2,000+ additional arrests in DC, according to AG Pam Bondi. #nolasky

Local media should widen their range of analysts, seek more diverse viewpoints. Dr. Chervenak doesn't acknowledge the persistently high crime numbers in New Orleans, or the National Guard's success in DC. In his view, sending the Guard here is only about politics and distraction. #nolasky
