Las Vegas Locally 🌴 @LasVegasLocally

Clark County firefighters and The Boring Company's own "Rescue Team" have been training together for weeks to develop ways to extract you from Las Vegas' underground Tesla tunnels. Just in case there's a fire, the AI goes rogue, or you forgot to pay your resort fee.

@JeffDuncan_ We are losing ground to Nashville every day. Their new entertainment district with new football stadium will greatly diminish our ability to draw major sporting events. In addition to physically nicer, they have much more corporate backing than New Orleans. Grim looking future

Another airball article from @NOLAnews Here are the FACTS: When Gov. Landry Finished What Orleans Politicians Started, Suddenly It Was an “Attack” Th coverage of Gov. Landry's "crackdown on New Orleans courts" has been heavy on outrage and light on facts. That’s not an accident — because the facts don’t support the media's agenda. Orleans is the only parish in the state with separate criminal and civil district courts, resulting in Louisiana funding almost triple the number of judges in Orleans compared to parishes of comparable population like Jefferson, Lafayette, East Baton Rouge, and St. Tammany. Elected officials are feigning outrage at legislation that passed which reduces the number of judges in Orleans and consolidates the courts. What makes the outrage particularly hollow is that dating back to the late 1980’s the Orleans delegation has fought to consolidate their own courts and reduce judgeships. This was their idea first. As a legislator, Mayor Moreno didn’t just support court consolidation, the elimination of an elected clerk and 2 elected judges - in 2014 she carried one bill herself - at the request of then Mayor Mitch Landrieu. In 2016 she voted for it again when Orleans Rep. Walt Leger carried the bill. Current Council President, former Senator JP Morrell, voted for it too. Judge Calvin Johnson also supported consolidation and reiterated that publicly at a conference in 2025. Not one of them appeared this session to testify in opposition - because they couldn't. Walking into that committee room would have meant answering for their own voting records. So they stayed in New Orleans where they knew the media wouldn't call them out. And the media didn't. It wasn't just the courts that had become bloated, the number of state funded positions for the DA of Orleans was indefensible. St. Tammany and Washington Parishes get a combined 30 state-funded assistant DA positions handling 8,170 criminal cases a year. Orleans gets 83 state-funded positions - for just 4,237 cases. Orleans has half the caseload, but gets three times the prosecutors. If a reporter put those two numbers side by side, the entire “attack on New Orleans” framing collapses. So they didn’t. Current DA Jason Williams, who as Council President had no problem slashing then DA Cannizzaro's budget, didn’t testify against the legislation either. If he had favorable data to push back, he would have been there to present it. He didn't show up. The funding structure for Orleans Parish courts was built for a city with a much larger population and a much heavier caseload. That city no longer exists. Neighboring parishes have grown and need more resources. Realigning state funding to reflect that reality isn’t targeting New Orleans - it’s basic math that Orleans politicians themselves have championed for over three decades. They just never managed to get it done. Governor Landry did. And for the delegation that spent years pushing these same reforms, that appears to be the one thing they cannot forgive. @tegbridges @LAGovJeffLandry @AGLizMurrill @Sen_Henry09 @SpkrDeVillier @JulieEmerson @HeatherCloud4 @JayJaymorris3 @DIXONMCMAKIN @BlakeMiguezLA @RoyceDuplessis @jimmy4nola @stewartcatheyjr @RepSchlegel @d_villio @ValarieHHodges @KleinpeterCaleb @votelandry @RepAlanSeabaugh @wdsu @WWLAMFM @NOLAnews @FOX8NOLA @FoxNews @WBRZ @jeffcrouere @McmathPat @FixNOLA

Already taking general our tourists, weekend getaways, Bachelorette parties, etc..this new stadium will strike right in the heart of New Orleans major advantage. A stadium walkable to hotels, bars and restaurants. Unless our city/ state leaders get serious, put a fork in us.
