Getting back after a week away in Colorado. If only we could send hot-tempered Mayor Nagin and his ragtag team of hotheads out there in the snow, it might cool off the heated controversy from this past week.
A few things to discuss:
1. What do yall think of the Mayor admitting that he doesn’t even subscribe to the T-P anymore? What ever happened to taking constructive criticism? Where does the Mayor get his news? Because the only publications not criticizing him nowadays are high school papers.
2. Big win this week for my boy James Perry and the Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center. In a suit against St. Bernard Parish, they won in a bid to ensure multi-family housing in the Parish. Timely victory for Mr. Perry, who shows with this win that he cares about the low-income communities in this city, in stark contrast to our current Mayor.
3. Listening to Bob Mitchell show on WWL this week. A listener called in and said, “Mayor Nagin gon’ get his”–meaning that once the Mayor leaves office Letten will get his hands on Nagin like he gets his hands on everyone else that deserves it. Do we really think Nagin is corrupt? Is the NOAH scandal going to catch up with him? Remember that of the contractors being investigated, Nagin’s brother-in-law’s company is NOT one of them. Is this going to catch up with Nagin?
4. Veronica “Write”—who knew that instead of securing decent trash collection contracts, Veronica has spent countless hours writing a book about securing FEMA funding for the city. Among those endorsing Ms. Write’s book was Ed Blakely, who no doubt e-mailed his endorsement from a computer in Australia or Switzerland or anywhere else he’s living besides New Orleans. And the only person who stepped up to the plate to publish Ms. Write’s book was, surprise, her husband. I have one question for Ms. Write—how much would it cost the city of New Orleans to collect all the published copies of your book, which certainly constitutes trash in my opinion? My guess—we’d get ripped off if Ms. Write was the one negotiating the contract. With such a lucrative second career, maybe Veronica should pay for her own bodyguard instead of wasting taxpayer money.
