I'm beginning to wonder if Benson isn't punishing Brees for having been among the leaders who sued the NFL during the lockout. With so many of his players suing the league, Benson must be catching grief from his peers these days.
Anyway it's been a busy Friday for me so I'll keep the bitching on the internet to a minimum. Go read NOLA Femmes for Lunanola's account of yesterday's hot HoZone action.
Update: Dambala also has notes and commentary from the hearing.
I'm opposed to the very concept of declaring any part of the city a "Zone" that belongs more to tourists than to residents. But I think Sen. Peterson's amendments have made the bill at least palatable despite it all. It will be interesting to see if the Mayor rejects the plan now that it actually dedicates more money to infrastructure maintenance since that was his major talking point in pushing it. If he pulls the bill now then he has to admit it was all just a ruse to put his board of hoteliers in place.
More later but right now I'm going to see about getting tickets to this GBV (fuck yeah!) show.
Oh also the Sepras Signal is up.
The New Orleans Police Department’s Traffic Division will conduct a sobriety checkpoint, in Treme, beginning at approximately 9:00 P.M. and will conclude at approximately 5:00 A.M. Motorists will experience minimal delays and should have the proper documentation available if requested, i.e., proof of insurance, driver’s license, etc.
Do not fret, drunk drivers.
