I was OPSO general counsel when this "cap" was put in place. It was always illegal and unenforceable by the City, hence why it was shrugged off and didn't push back. No need.
The City is required to provide a jail sufficient to hold ALL of the prisoners detained pursuant to the Court's detention holds. Municipalities have no authority to ignore that law via "caps."
@susanguidry's moronic fight to artificially reduce the size of the jail has caused the City of New Orleans to continually be in violation of state law.
The Orleans Parish jail held 1,430 people Wednesday—180 over the city's legal cap. Sheriff Woodfork says overcrowding is blocking a new medical facility and federal compliance. She's requesting $17 million to fix it.

Mississippi’s state auditor. Do we need this in Louisiana? #lalege @LAGovJeffLandry
Now that the Moreno administration is firmly in place, when will we see the state take an increased role in managing the French Quarter, @LouisianaLtGov? It’s important.

👏 @LouisianaLtGov said @HelenaMorenoLA and @freddiekingiii are "very receptive" to changing how the French Quarter is managed. Great news. Will more local officials/candidates commit? Let's put a concrete plan in place. Thank you, @MichaelEchols, for the question and shout out.

Yes!!! Historic St Charles Ave., between Napoleon and Jefferson Avenue in Uptown New Orleans has finally been repaired. New asphalt. Very smooth. Very nice. This part of St Charles Ave. has been messed up for years, maybe a decade. Used to just beat the crap out of your vehicle. Not anymore. Good job City Of New Orleans. Keep it up!

There is actually a third choice which involves cutting appropriations to entities which provide no services at all.

Until we fix the obvious mismanagement in budget, we should not take any more tax payer money. We have way less people and WAY more money.
Apparently Mayor Moreno quietly convinced State leaders on the bond commission that she deserved a $7.5M cash line of credit this morning.
According to this chart, Orleans Parish got 103% more than all other local government projects listed in the state, combined.

The goal is to have response times to under 1 minute. The DFR program is about getting eyes at a Call For Service (CFS) to determine threat level and resources needed…
Reminder: these are calls made by the public to dispatch.
Thanks for covering @TraversWDSU
The @NOPDNews will soon add 4 drones to the mix to help with crime fighting in the French Quarter and CBD.

NOPD is looking for this armed robbery suspect who climbed through the Taco Bell drive-thru window on General De Gaulle Drive demanding food. Press release below. 🔽 @NOPDNews
NOPD Seeking Fast Food Drive-Thru Armed Robbery Suspect
New Orleans - The NOPD is asking for the public's help in identifying and locating an armed robbery suspect who climbed through a fast food drive-thru window demanding food.
On October 9, 2026, at about 11:23 p.m., the pictured subject attempted to order food on foot at a drive-thru fast food window in the 4300 block of General De Gaulle Drive.
According to investigators, when he was denied service, the suspect burst through the window and brandished a gun. He again demanded food. When the employees refused to serve him, he reportedly fled on a motorized scooter. No one was injured.
Video of the incident can be viewed at this YouTube link:

The suspect is described as a dark-skinned black male, with a medium to slim build, short hair and a beard. The suspect was about 5'10" to 6'0" tall and weighed between 150 to 200 pounds. He wore a black cap, a black jacket with multiple designs on the front and back, black shorts and gray & white Nike shoes. He was armed with an unknown type of black handgun.
Anyone with information as to the suspect's identity and/or location is asked to contact Fourth District detectives at (504) 658-6040 or Crimestoppers anonymously at (504) 822-1111.
All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

This is actually a great sign that they are doing things differently in New Orleans
"Business permits in the city of New Orleans: we have issued as many business permits so far this year as we did in all of 2024 and 2025 combined," Mayor Helena Moreno said. audacy.com/wwl/news/local/ma…
Friends in the Sixth Congressional District, added layers of policing in New Orleans have been a major success. But Democratic- and Republican-endorsed candidates had completely different answers to this public safety question at last night's debate. #LA06
👏 What 25- to 28-member Troop NOLA has done is "nothing short of remarkable." @MetroCrimeNOLA looked at stats. Since 2024: 1,200+ arrests. Removed 200 firearms. Recovered 115 stolen cars, $180k in cash, 40 ATVs. *22% of open felonies are @LAStatePolice arrests.* #lalege #lagov

📻 Rickie Guillory on Talk 107.3
LMTA Chair of the Board and Guillory Petroleum Transport owner Rickie Guillory joined Mornings with Brian Haldane today to close out Lawsuit Abuse Awareness Week with a real-world look at how Louisiana’s legal climate affects trucking businesses.
Rickie discussed rising insurance costs, the impact of lawsuits on small trucking companies, and why those costs ultimately reach consumers through the price of goods moved by truck. He also highlighted the need for continued work on issues including transparency and civil justice reform.

LMTA Chair of the Board and Guillory Petroleum Transport owner Rickie Guillory joined the show to discuss Lawsuit Abuse Awareness Week and the real impact Louisiana’s legal climate has on trucking companies, businesses, and consumers.
Rickie explained how excessive and frivolous lawsuits drive up operating costs for carriers, and how those costs ultimately follow the freight, affecting everything from groceries and clothing to fuel and insurance.
As Rickie put it, nearly everything we use is moved by truck. When trucking costs go up, everyone feels it.
