Algiers could become its own city again under a measure proposed by state Rep. Jeff Arnold for the 2015 session of the Louisiana Legislature. He envisions a community led by a mayor-council form of government, with the current New Orleans mayor and council transitioning to a parish president-parish council entity.

The driving force behind the measure, he said, is the same as when he introduced the idea a decade ago: a lack of attention from New Orleans officials. "If we had a government in Algiers, it would better serve people in Algiers. We will still be in New Orleans. You'll still be a New Orleanian,'' Arnold said. "But if you have a street problem, you'd go to the Algiers courthouse as opposed to going to City Hall.'

Of course it's a stupid idea. But that probably means it's got a chance.
