Mayor Nagin continues to focus on the wrong things. As staunchly as I support the fundamental concept of business and industry at the root of economic success, New Orleans is not in a position to lure them. Nagin seems to be in a snit about the loss of the gambling proposal, but I’m relieved the […]
