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

Our crime rates are consistently higher. We do not have crime under control. And have a reputation for same. Not good. More deadly chaos in the French Quarter yesterday, where we encourage tourists to go. Alarming and completely unacceptable. Let’s see what the Guard can do. They helped before.

I do enjoy the city. But I also recognize that we had 8 murders in a recent week, including a visitor to our city celebrating her birthday. Her present? She was shot to death on bourbon street. A father picking up his child from daycare carjacked and murdered. Abhorrent. Totally unacceptable.

I’m not a libertarian.

Fix New Orleans @fixnola.com · 10d

I didn’t say I expect total freedom from crime. While that’s a nice aspirational goal, it’s not possible. What is possible (& real goal) is to become a reliably low-crime city. Notably so. To be one of the lowest crime cities among our competitor cities and eventually among the lowest in the country

Fix New Orleans @fixnola.com · 10d

You may be satisfied with 100 murders. I’m not. I want New Orleans to be a notably, reliably safe city. To make lists of the country’s safest cities. Glad for our progress, but we’re far from that and have a lot to do. The Guard can help, just as they have before. So bring them here. No brainer.

Fix New Orleans @fixnola.com · 10d

You’re saying we haven’t had over 100 homicides so far this year?

Fix New Orleans @fixnola.com · 10d

Down from murder capital is still high crime. We’ve had over 100 homicides just this year alone.

Fix New Orleans @fixnola.com · 11d

A pretty bizarre way to characterize crime-fighting help in a perpetually high-crime city.

👏 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

My God. We need the National Guard ASAP. 🙏

👏 “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

Fix New Orleans @fixnola.com · 20d

Has to do with funding and surging of federal resources.

Fix New Orleans @fixnola.com · 20d

No, I don’t want to keep tolerating eight homicides a week, including a shootout at Bourbon and Canal.

Fix New Orleans @fixnola.com · 20d

I assume they’ll be deployed wherever needed to bring crime down significantly, like they did when they have been here before. And like they’re doing in DC.

Fix New Orleans @fixnola.com · 20d

Criminals are at war against New Orleanians and our visitors. Eight homicides last week, including a shootout at Bourbon & Canal.

"Tonight, we're sending the Department of War a request... asking them to deploy the National Guard here in Louisiana into our cities like New Orleans... We're not going to tolerate this uptick in violence that's going on right now." 👏 Gov. Landry #lagov #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.
