Summary

This hour, Newell has on Greg Rusovich, Chair of the Metro Crime Commission, to discuss the French Quarter’s new "Drone as First Responder" program. Then, Newell opens the phone lines, and the WWL listeners chime in on traffic cameras and local government putting a strain on economic growth. Also, Newell addresses a national survey conducted by Elon University and YouGov that found that 55% of Democrats would prefer to live in a country other than the United States.
