Press release from the City of New Orleans: June 9, 2022 NEW ORLEANS — The Mayor's Office of Communications today issued the following statement in response to the New Orleans City Council's vote: "We stand firm in our position that these actions, including today's ruling, are political, duplicative, and a misuse of taxpayer funds," said Gregory Joseph, Director of Communications. "The City Council could have used a more straightforward and accurate procedure by simply submitting a public records request for the administration to turn over executive branch documentation. As we continue to work with City Council leaders to satisfy their demands in a timely manner, they should, in return, work in collaboration with the administration to address the residents' most critical concerns, including enhancing public safety, ensuring we are prepared for yet another above-average hurricane season, and improving our aging infrastructure."
