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.

Do The Feds Have Anything On Marc Morial?

Although it as been almost six years since former New Orleans Mayor Marc Morial has been out of office, there seems to be speculation that the federal probe, into his administration, is not over.

This news has everyone in a wait and see mode as to whether or not the former Mayor will face charges. Whether he is ever prosecuted, there will always be that doubt as to his innocence doing and possibly after his reign as Mayor. What we are definitely sure of at this point is that his cohorts, who received lucrative contacts doing his administration, have caused the City of New Orleans great harm that has everlasting effects.
