Heroes inspire change every day

It was barely even a month ago, during the height of the Carnival season, when we witnessed this brief moment of glory.



Could it be this fleeting act of defiance that spurred J.P. Morrell into action this week? 

“I waded into this because, as the chairman says, it’s a liberty issue,” Morrell said. Booting keeps the owners, who often weren’t involved or even knew about the parking ticket, from the use of the vehicle.

The city changed its procedures, apparently, to make more money, he added.

Morrell’s Senate Bill 440 would require New Orleans city government to notify the owner of the vehicle by certified mail 15 days before booting.

Who are we to say for sure?
