We open the show with a message for New Orleans: get it together. Mayor Helena Moreno’s proposed budget would eliminate 75% of the sanitation department’s positions. We ask how making a top tourist destination dirtier and less safe helps a city out of a financial crisis. We also talk about why one-time money doesn’t solve recurring problems, and about sticking to the things only a city can do.
In the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, St. Bernard Parish Sheriff James Pohlman announces his retirement after 43 years with the department. An arrest warrant is issued for the owner of a Shreveport apartment complex whose water was cut off over more than $145,000 in unpaid bills, though extradition from New York is uncertain. And early voting begins across Louisiana, running through October 27 ahead of Election Day on November 3.
Next, we turn to the candidate forums we’ve been watching in Shreveport, New Orleans, and Lafayette. We explain why loving your community isn’t a governing strategy, and we make the case for big-picture candidates who also know the budget.
In Digging Deep, we go through the Shreveport mayor’s race campaign finance reports. We compare Mayor Tom Arsenault’s cash on hand with the totals raised by John Paul Young, Stormy Gage Watts, and Tammy Phelps. We also explain why most of Young’s headline total is his own money, and why dollars raised don’t equal votes.
After that, we get to a rare moment of accountability. Duke cornerback Kamari Robinson publicly apologizes after swatting away a team trainer’s hand during a game, and we think it’s one of the better apologies we’ve heard.
In Say What, we play a clip of Sen. Elissa Slotkin explaining the deterrence message she wants to send to people considering work in the Trump administration. We react to it, along with Sen. Raphael Warnock’s comments on Meet the Press about the president and the people who enabled him, and we discuss what a Democratic return to power could mean.
Then we cover Elon Musk’s reported plan to give American children a share of SpaceX stock, alongside the Dell family’s Trump account pledge. We talk about what it means for kids to own a piece of the American economy. We close with a game on September state unemployment rates, where the states with the highest unemployment skew blue and the states with the lowest skew red, and we ask what that means for the affordability argument heading into the midterms.
