This can't be good

Mayor Landrieu plans to revamp 11 New Orleans boards and commissions

I'm sure we'll hear a lot about "streamlining government" and "best practices" and revenue estimates and whatnot. But basically this is going to be like Ray Nagin's adventures in "refreshing" municipal boards only done by professionals who know how to divvy up spoils under the guise of "good government"

In other words, we're finally moving up Robert Cerasoli's "sophistication" scale.

Update: The big news, according to T-P anyway, is it rolls NOAH into NORA while consolidating some other things that at least make sense at first glance.  But, again, these reshuffles are always more about which individuals end up with which patronage stream than they are about what the name of the board they're working under is.
