We hear about the latest clashes between Mayor LaToya Cantrell and the Civil Service Commission, and a millage to support the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office. The death penalty has been a major topic in Louisiana ever since the execution of Jessie Hoffman, Jr. one month ago. He was the first person in the state to be killed with nitrogen gas.

Wayne Resnick fills in for Bill Handel.Breaking news: 10 dead, 30+ injured in New Orleans after a driver plowed through a New Years' Eve crowd on Bourbon St.. The driver is dead, following a shootout with police. Two police officers were injured in what New Orleans' Mayor LaToya Cantrell calls a "terrorist attack."Also, California is experiencing the 2nd dryest season on record (thanks La Nina!), California FINALLY picks its state crustacean (the noble Dungenous Crab), the state slug (the honorable Banana Slug), and the state seashell (the dignified Black Abalone). And a 1-month old, onesie-clad Spider Monkey was pulled over for driving without a license... in a Rolls Royce??? I have so many questions...
In the early hours of New Year's Day, a tragic event unfolded on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. A man, identified as Shamsud Din Jabbar, drove a pickup truck into a crowd of revelers, resulting in the deaths of at least 10 individuals and injuries to more than 35 others. After the collision, Jabbar, clad in body armor, engaged in a shootout with police officers before being fatally shot. Two officers sustained injuries during the exchange but are reported to be in stable condition. The FBI is treating the incident as an act of terrorism, especially after discovering improvised explosive devices at the scene. Mayor LaToya Cantrell has labeled the event a “terrorist attack.” The motive behind Jabbar's actions remains under investigation. 
In this final episode of Season 4 of Cities 1.5, David has conversations with two formidable and inspiring women who are fighting to protect the health of people and the planet from Lima, Peru and New Orleans, USA. As the impacts of the climate crisis hit harder and more frequently, the effects this has on human health also multiply. It is key that urban areas plan and adapt to meet the growing challenges of temperature rise, food insecurity, migration, and more. Of course, extreme weather events often have the most catastrophic consequences for humanity, leading to mass displacement, injury, disease and death. But if the worst happens, it is possible for cities and their residents to unite and rebuild to create a more resilient future…and other communities can learn lessons from their leadership.

Back in 2021, Mayor LaToya Cantrell aimed to bring the “smart cities” initiative to New Orleans, which would have introduced a new internet service provider to compete with Cox Communications and equipped the city's infrastructure (including everything from traffic signals to parking spaces) with data-collecting sensors and cameras. The effort was abandoned in 2022 after allegations, first reported by The Lens, that the bid process had been rigged. Now, the New Orleans City Council is proposing changes to city law to help avoid similar scandals. Katie Fernelius has been covering the council's efforts for Verite News and joins us for more. Many New Orleanians will tell you recycling isn't always reliable in the city. Not only is it often disrupted and delayed after natural disasters, but there is currently no widespread glass pickup.

The Times-Picayune/New Orleans Advocate's Tristan Baurick has the details.

What does Mayor Cantrell learn from her trips? Is it too late for Dennis Allen to turn the Saints' season around? And, the annual "T'was the Night Before Christmas" poem.
The combat sport of jiu-jitsu is a mixed martial art of ground fighting, grappling and submission holds. In recent years, popularity has grown in the United States, but the only professional jiu-jitsu league in the country started in Decatur, Ala. The Gulf States Newsroom's Joseph King has the story. The Tony Award-winning musical “Wicked” is returning to the Saenger Theatre from Nov. 29 through Dec 17. The classic Wizard of Oz prequel shows a glimpse of life in the land of Oz before Dorothy's arrival. Olivia Valli, who stars as Elphaba, tells us more about the upcoming performance and why the story of the ostracized green witch feels so personal to her. New Orleans is known for its bustling nightlife, and last year Mayor LaToya Cantrell created the Office of Nighttime Economy, helmed by Howie Kaplan. Kaplan is the owner of The Howlin' Wolf, a popular music venue, and manages the Rebirth Brass Band.

Noonie Man gives us an update on the recall but also has some very good information on politics in New Orleans.
Organizers fighting to recall New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell claim they have enough signatures to move forward. But where the recall effort goes from here has yet to be determined. The Times-Picayune | The Advocate's editorial director and columnist Stephanie Grace gives us an update, and tells us what could happen next. February is not only Black History Month, but also brings the one hundred and third anniversary of the founding of baseball's Negro Leagues. Before baseball was integrated, the Negro League was where baseball players of color participated in America's pastime. But while some of the most well remembered Negro League teams were in Kansas City, Indianapolis, and Newark, New Orleans has a rich history of Negro League teams that has often been overlooked. Last year, President of the Negro League Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Bob Kendrick, joined us for more on Louisiana Black baseball history. Today, we hear an encore of this conversation. When you hear the word Amish, you're probably picturing a lot of things but not the Louisiana Bayou. But right now Amish volunteers are in Louisiana, rebuilding homes destroyed by hurricanes long after most other aid has left. As the Gulf States Newsroom's Stephan Bisaha reports, the trips have led to cross country connections over hardship, food and faith.

Mark Raymond has a deep-rooted history of serving the community. Building on the legacy of his grandfather, A.P. Tureaud, Mark has played a vital role in advancing various equity-centered efforts across the Greater New Orleans area and beyond. From renaming historic streets and landmarks in New Orleans to creating a more accessible and robust rehabilitative health infrastructure in the Gulf South, Mark's aptitude for cultivating relationships and driving coordinated, healing-centered change has been vital to the advancement of those most disadvantaged. This is the link to the Split Second Foundation, https://www.splitsecondfoundation.org/ Mark's commitment to fighting for justice and equity started as a child but was intensified following a shallow diving accident in 2016, in which he damaged the vertebrae by the base of his neck and lost the ability to walk. For Mark, this life-changing experience illuminated the reality of disparities in access, and there were very few community resources to turn to for help. His new disability and lack of support ultimately pushed him to advocate for millions of others by transforming the split-second that led to his injury into a life filled with awareness, hope, and action.He founded Split Second Foundation to make people aware of a growing population of individuals impacted by disability, advocate for their rights, fund cutting-edge research, and provide clear-cut steps to immediately improve their quality of life.To date, Mark's impact on inclusive health and human services, as well as justice-driven policy work, has been substantial. Mark was able to open Split Second Fitness, which is the first inclusive gym in Louisiana, with an intentional focus on people living with paralysis, amputation, or other neurological conditions that impact mobility.He also serves on several federal, state, and local boards and commissions to represent and advocate for people living with disabilities. Notably, Mayor LaToya Cantrell appointed him to the Regional Transit Authority (RTA) New Orleans Board of Commissioners, where he holds the positions of Vice-Chair and Chairman of the Finance Committee overseeing the planning, implementation, and execution of the agency's $109 million budget.Recently, RTA introduced the first two Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant streetcars on the historical St. Charles streetcar line.Mark's work within the community and through SSF has earned him numerous awards including:*Gambit's “40 Under 40”*New Orleans Magazine's “Ones to Watch”*Millennial Change Makers Award*Xavier University's “40 Under 40”

After seeing smaller crowds at the downtown Fourth of July fireworks display, Scoot believes there's a decline in patriotism and that it's linked to the weak image or President Biden and Mayor LaToya Cantrell since they don't want to address the issues plaguing NEw Orleans and the nation.
