I know you’re all going to #Bookfest & y’all at #StPatrickParade but it’s also ELECTION DAY!
If you’re in Gentilly, upper/lower Nine, Marigny, Bywater, St. Bernard & NOE (whew, that’s a lot!) be sure to VOTE
I’m with #DanaHenry for House #3 & #sidneybarthelemy for Senate #3!
We have a real chance during the 2026 #lalege session to restructure the governance of the Sewerage & Water Board. The time for change is NOW!
For a minute, 2026 felt calm and peaceful. And then, six SWBNO main breaks occurred across the city.
Let's talk about the Sewerage & Water Board: the progress we've made, and the challenges we're left facing.

Of course, as we’re lobbying the legislature on SWB reform, we get stuck in an elevator in the Capitol building. (You can’t make this stuff up!)
I guess this is just an occupational hazard, but everyone made it out safely. 😅

With the help of a very special four-legged guest, Artie the Bernedoodle, let's talk about furloughs for city employees. Who's exempt, how often is the furlough, and how much do we save ultimately?

REMINDER: Our Post Carnival 2026 Meeting is this Monday! There will be no legislative items re: Mardi Gras up for a vote, as this is just a preliminary discussion.
I’ll add it to my list!
On it
Hit the Crescent City Farmers Market in City Park a little late today (10AM) and it was packed! Beautiful day to support some of our local farmers and businesses!
We also tried to catch the tulips 🌷 by the Big Lake but the warm weather seemed to do a number on them. Some are still in bloom though!
From @EntergyNOLA: All customers have been restored. Pictured is the Mylar balloon that caused the outage.
Tours will be available!
The flotilla will be comprised of tall ships from the US and from all over the world, including Chile, the Netherlands, and Ecuador. This is a once-in-a-generation moment, and it all begins in New Orleans!
New Orleans is kicking off the country's 250th birthday!
From May 28–June 1, 2026, New Orleans will be the first city to welcome the world’s tall ships as America marks 250 years, creating the largest flotilla ever on the Mississippi River.
If you have any photos or videos of any violations that took place, you're encouraged to email them to NOLACCMardiGrasReporting2026@gmail.com.

Happy Mardi Gras from Jake Perralta @giarrussoiii and Doug Judy the #PontiacBandit from Brooklyn Nine-Nine!
Fun fact: I owned a 1984 Blue Pontiac Firebird in Highschool and a Red 1997 Pontiac Firebird in College. I was #thePontiacBandit!
She is FIRE though (I’m a dad, bad jokes expected)
