    The whole City is under a BWA because…a single balloon? C‘mon. We need a better explanation from the utilities.

    BREAKING: A spokesperson with Entergy N.O. says a Mylar balloon is behind tonight's power outage that led to SWBNO losing power and the subsequent boil water advisory that is currently affecting almost all of the city. @WWLTV @CmGiarrusso

    I usually don’t comment on federal issues but this is a local issue, too. Someone living here with the federal government’s full knowledge and approval for nearly 50 years is hardly Public Enemy Number 1. This should not happen.

    🚨I reached out to @EntergyNOLA concerned about the Mid-City area power outage planned for tomorrow during this cold front. @EntergyNOLA has canceled the Mid-City outage and will reschedule it for the future.

    Today, like most days, I’m focused on mental health access and support in New Orleans. One in 5 adult Louisianans live with a mental health condition. There is help, there is hope, and there are resources. Free, confidential support is available 24/7 at Louisiana988.org.

    There is nothing to negotiate. A deal is a deal. There is no backing out or changing material terms. The Administration accepted the deal. All of this was discussed publicly. No one objected before the Council voted. The Mayor signed the ordinances approving funding in 2025.

    This is not an easy conversation for me. I am deeply grateful to @CityOfNOLA, @nolahealthdept, and many other stakeholders who willingly jumped in with two feet to address and improve mental health in New Orleans.

    Today I was honored to celebrate the retirement of my mother, the Honorable Judge Robin M Giarrusso. She’s spent 35 years serving in Orleans Parish Civil District Court, handling the public’s cases — many of which weren’t easy — with grace and thoughtfulness. (cont)

    5700 Vicksburg has been shamefully neglected since Katrina. Code Enforcement is demolishing it now.
