BIG WIN FOR THE CITY AND STR REGULATION 🚨

Today we received a ruling in the Hignell STR litigation that began in 2019, and the Fifth Circuit made it clear: the City DOES have the authority to regulate short-term rentals. www.instagram.com/p/DPhwgoxDMXI/

Grateful to have the support of the Circle of Chiefs, which represents numerous Black Masking Indian tribes. Throughout my term, I've fought for the traditions of Mardi Gras Indians because they ARE the culture that makes New Orleans so unique. Thank you, Circle of Chiefs!

Big congrats to the Roots of Music on their brand new campus! Roots of Music is a recipient of the @nolacitycouncil’s Recreation and Culture Fund because they do AMAZING work connecting kids with music. Can’t wait to see them grow in this new chapter!

The primary duty of state and local law enforcement isn’t to support federal partners, it’s to enforce state and local laws. bit.ly/4nbvuS9

Federalism as a Check on Abuses by Federal Law Enforcement

States and cities have the power to decide whether and how their police departments collaborate with federal law enforcement.

Spoiler Alert: It wasn't her.

So let's talk about today's meeting, the budget process, and addressing the current deficit.

JP Morrell @jpmorrell.bsky.social · 9d

I thought that today's meeting was going to be pretty straightforward, but I was wrong.

The mayor and her Admin like to preach about collective responsibility, but the mayor made it clear today who she thinks is to blame for the deficit.
