mayor cantrell recall

i voted for latoya cantrell. twice. sure the streets are in bad shape, but when has that not been true? the mayor displayed remarkable leadership during the worst of the covid business, and that took great courage. bit ......

if you're going to let the garbage contractor get away with doing 1/2 of his job, he has to show up for that 1/2. i can live with once a week, sure, crawfish shells and such get ripe in a week and there are always droves of maggots in the can, but this is new orleans. we cope.

it would be nice if at least one of the street projects could be finished. new potholes are growing before the old ones are filled.

and. i appreciate the new bike lanes and the effort to make our streets more bicycle friendly, but this system seems to be motor vehicle hostile. try making a turn onto elysian fields in the marigny! bike lanes need to be scaled back to dual use and the off street parking returned to the curb.

at any rate, this rant is not directed at ms cantrell as a democrat (and i am also a proud democrat, as is every viable candidate for mayor in my lifetime. this rant is directed at ms cantrell, the leader of the city. stop with the 1st class travel and get to mayoring, or you will not have a job.
