The New Orleans Police Department is investigating a homicide by shooting that occurred in the Seventh District.
NEW ORLEANS - The City of New Orleans has secured a major win by receiving approval for an extension of the Joint Infrastructure Recovery Response (JIRR) program through June 2, 2028, providing the City and its infrastructure partners additional time to complete critical federally funded infrastructure and resilience projects across New Orleans.
The extension ensures the City can continue advancing major drainage, sewer, water, and roadway improvements that are essential to strengthening New Orleans’ long-term resilience and quality of life.
NEW ORLEANS - Today, the City of New Orleans applied for rehearing and requested oral argument at the Louisiana Supreme Court in the Orleans Parish clerk case. The City Attorney, representing both the Mayor and the New Orleans City Council, petitioned the Court to reconsider its decision, which fails to protect the rights of Orleans Parish voters. The Court decided in a narrow 4-3 decision against the City's claims and barred the City from holding the election called by the City Council for the fall.
"Neither a court nor a legislature should have the authority to override the voice of the voters and as a City we must use every tool at our disposal to defend that right when it is under attack," said Mayor Helena Moreno. "I hope the majority justices will review and reconsider their position and do right by the people of our City."
Applicants to the the City Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Adjustments should be aware of fradulent invoices.
