That explains it...

$166G in taxpayer loans, yet council member's property still a wreck

He can't be bothered to take care of his own property, why would he bother to show up at his job?

Nice Jon....stay classy.

Two council members continue work stoppage

Councilwoman Kristen Gisleson Palmer alluded to rumors that Mayor Mitch Landrieu was exerting influence on the decision as to who should take Head’s seat.

 “If the intent of this is to let the mayor appoint, I ask the mayor to respect our decision.”

That may be a tough one....he's shown very little respect for anything but his own machinations in the past few weeks.  It's amazing that neighborhood groups had to travel to Baton Rouge just to get a seat at the bargaining table on a bill that could have potentially destroyed the most unique neighborhood in the country.  Not once, did the mayor's administration offer to listen to the concerns of the citizens affected by the HoZone.  I'm sure they're also not listening to the anger this little coup by Cynthia Hedge-Morrell and Jon Johnson is creating among the people of this city. 

It may be a good time for an ego check before this admin. runs off the cliff.
