Let's take a break from budget to talk about regulating Waymo 🚖
You may have seen Waymo vehicles across the city recently. Autonomous vehicles like Waymo are an emerging industry that is looking to expand here in New Orleans.

And if we've learned anything from dealing with companies like Airbnb or Uber, it's that we need to proactively regulate industries that aren't interested in regulating themselves.
So let's talk about the future of Waymo in New Orleans.
WEEK 2 OF BUDGET HEARINGS (Pt. 2)📊
Now let's talk about the City's Right to Counsel (RTC) program. What makes Right to Counsel so special is that a previous Council actually codified via ordinance RTC.

Additionally, we are beginning the conversation about what rolling the millages forward would look like.
Public input will be critical to balancing a budget that includes necessary cuts while also maintaining our most essential city services.

Today, @nolacitycouncil officially renamed the Treme Rec Center to the Jerome Smith Treme Recreation Community Center. Additionally, at the family's request and with support from #TambourineAndFan, we will rename Hunter's Field after Big Duck to honor his legacy at a future date.
Not only is he a hometown hero, but a nationally recognized civil rights leader who fought for the rights of Black people everywhere. His work with generations of Black children throughout our city, in particular, has inspired families to rededicate themselves to our community.
#UPDATE: City Planning Commission and Data Centers
In January, the City Council passed an IZD prohibiting any new data centers in New Orleans and directing the City Planning Commission to study and define the issue.
