Summary
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is pushing for the disbarment of New Orleans City Council President J.P. Morrell and District Attorney Jason Williams, calling their actions unethical and warranting legal punishment. Morrell fires back, calling the governor’s accusations personal vendettas and insists the council is focused on real city issues like data centers and carbon sequestration. The feud escalated after Attorney General Liz Murrill was charged by a grand jury for malfeasance and public intimidation over threatening letters to city officials. Landry and Murrill also criticized the council’s recent moves to restructure city offices, while Morrell hopes the governor will refocus on collaboration instead of political attacks. Tensions remain high as both sides continue to trade blows. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
