The Fate Of Louis Armstrong International Airport

If the state owned the airport, I guess contracts would become state contracts.

Business leaders from across the metropolitan New Orleans area and Baton Rouge have crafted an audacious proposal that calls for City Hall to hand over ownership and governance of Louis Armstrong International Airport to the state, in return for heavy state financial support for city redevelopment projects.

Does that mean CA One would have to sign a new contract with the state? I guess that would be good for them since they would then be able to rid itself from their corrupt business partner.

Morial Clan Upset Over Convention Center Change

Important News Break---the Morial Clan is upset and after remaining mum concerning corruption probes and guilty pleas following his administration, Marc Morial speaks out:

In a stinging letter addressed to the president of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, former Mayor Marc Morial calls on the center's board to reverse its decision to change the facility's name in promotional and marketing materials.

The Convention Center is named for Morial's father, Ernest N. "Dutch" Morial, the city's first black mayor and an instrumental force behind the facility's launch.

Last month, Convention Center officials announced that they had changed the facility's name to the New Orleans Morial Convention Center on brochures, pamphlets and other marketing paraphernalia to ensure that potential clients would instantly recognize its location. The exhibit hall's legal name is unchanged.

The name MORIAL was not a nationally recognized name until the feds begin their investigations following Marc MORIAL's administration. Perhaps a google search can refresh Marc's memory. Some words come to mind: corruption, probe, cronies, plead guilty, contracts, etc.

Silence Can Be Golden

Last week the T-P reported that FBI chief, James Bernazzani would be reassigned due to remarks he made about possibly being the next Mayor of New Orleans. I wish he would have remained silent, on the issue, because he has helped New Orleans tremendously.

As for him one day running for Mayor---well, that sounds like a great idea.
