NEW ORLEANS - New Orleans residents will get another chance to weigh in on the city's budget at a meeting on Monday.Federal City is a long way to go for downtown residents wishing to air grievances about the Mayor's frequent decisions to choose hospitality, Hollywood, and developers' interests over theirs over the past year. I'm told that neighborhood organizations have invited the Mayor and Councilwoman Palmer to a separate East Bank meeting but neither has accepted the invitation.
The meeting is the third hosted by Mayor Mitch Landrieu and other city officials.
Residents can voice their opinions on what the budget priorities should be for next year.
The meeting for District C residents is set for 6 p.m. at the Federal City YMCA in Algiers.
Also aside from a string of live-tweeting by Gambit I haven't seen any significant report on last week's District E meeting. Admittedly, I've been a bit overwhelmed this week and may have missed a story or two. If anyone has a link to something, I'd appreciate it.
Update: Here's WVUE's blurb on the District E meeting.
