  • Louisiana Voters Divided Among 217 Political Parties

    Louisiana Voters Divided Among 217 Political Parties The Louisiana Secretary of State carefully records the political party voters choose when they register to vote, which is how Louisiana's voter roll came to include 217 political parties, 86 which have only one member.  Included in that list is the Bull Moose Party, with its five members, 12 Jedis, 20  members of the Banana Party, one Monarchist, 16 Whigs, two Cajuns and a list of equally amusing party choices.  Read Gannett's Mike Hasten's hilarious account of those who list their party registration as "other" at the link below.

Plan for Teaching Hospital Conflicts with New Orleans Master Plan -- Landrieu, Jindal at Odds Over How to Proceed

Planning consultants for the city of New Orleans are critical of the plans for the successor to Charity Hospital and are recommending that Mayor Mitch Landrieu push for changes and engage the city more in the planning process, a move that received an cool response from a spokesman for Governor Bobby Jindal's administration.  A meeting next week between City officials and the state will address what could become a tug-of-war between the state, who is making the investment, and the city, which controls street closures needed to build the facility. In this photo of the University Medical Center site, Claiborne Avenue is at the lower right, and Tulane Avenue cuts across the bottom left corner. Canal and Galvez streets also bound the site.
