New Orleans City Council - District A: Public Lake Access in the Face of Development

http://neworleansyc.blogspot.com/2006/03/public-lake-access-in-face-of.html

Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Public Lake Access in the Face of Development. Are you aware of the many issues in Florida and elsewhere regarding the lack of water access to the general public, caused specifically by rampant development of multi-million dollar condominiums and the privatization of public marinas? Yes, I am concerned. I will fight any attempts to privatize Orleans Marina, or the sale of any of that land to private entities. There are numerous areas throughout New Orleans that need development a...

http://neworleansyc.blogspot.com/2006/03/sal-palmisano-r.html

Tuesday, March 28, 2006. The candidate agreed to participate in this forum, but never supplied his answers to the questionaire. Posted by TAG at 3:15 AM. Is this the same individual that owned the booting company that was run out of town several years back? I believe he is. Can we expect booting (read: EXTORTION) to return if he is elected? Please correct me if I am missinformed. Thanks, Ryan B. Â Jay Batt (R). Â Sonia Gupta (I). Â Ray Landeche (I). Â Shelly Stephenson Midura (D). Â David Nowak (I).

New Orleans City Council - District A: The Historic Lighthouse

http://neworleansyc.blogspot.com/2006/03/historic-lighthouse.html

Tuesday, March 28, 2006. What ideas would you support for the use of the historic and very damaged Lighthouse at the point? Http:/ caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/casecode/uscodes/16/chapters/1a/subchapters/i/toc.html. We should rebuild the Lighthouse where it is more functional, but preserve its' historic look. I am open to many different ideas. It definitely should be repaired and kept in the public domain, but as a specific purpose, I would need more neighborhood input. Posted by TAG at 1:12 PM.

New Orleans City Council - District A: Privitization of Orleans Parish Marinas

http://neworleansyc.blogspot.com/2006/03/privitization-of-orleans-parish.html

Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Privitization of Orleans Parish Marinas. Would you support the privatization of either Orleans Marina and/or Municipal Harbor along with the increased fees this would bring, and if so, why and under what criteria would you support this privatization? Only if that's what the property owners and leaseholders want. Hurricane Katrina should not be a catalyst for stealing property from its' pre-Katrina owners. Lake Pontchartrain has almost 100 miles of shoreline, so there are ... Dav...

New Orleans City Council - District A: Relocation of a Casino Boat to West End

http://neworleansyc.blogspot.com/2006/03/relocation-of-casino-boat-to-west-end.html

Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Relocation of a Casino Boat to West End. Speculation is rampant that either the existing casino boat based at Southshore Harbor or another casino boat altogether will be based somewhere at West End, do you support this idea? If so, where specifically would you support it locating and surrounded by what other types facilities on the land? No, I do not support this idea; therefore the second part of the question is moot. See answer to question 1). Posted by TAG at 1:03 PM. Feel fre...

New Orleans City Council - District A: Opening Statements:

http://neworleansyc.blogspot.com/2006/03/opening-statements.html

Tuesday, March 28, 2006. I appreciate this opportunity to once again communicate and interact with your members and friends. As you know I have always been an active supporter of slipholders, yacht club initiatives, boathouse owners and West End residents, as underscored by my recent ordinances on behalf of boathouse owners and area residents. Think regionally in support of coastal restoration. The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers' interruption of natural processes is the leading cause in the lo...Create a ...

New Orleans City Council - District A: Maintaining the Pedestrian Nature of West End

http://neworleansyc.blogspot.com/2006/03/maintaining-pedestrian-nature-of-west.html

Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Maintaining the Pedestrian Nature of West End. West End has always been a walking neighborhood, where people were able to play volleyball, eat great seafood, enjoy their boats, visit their favorite watering hole, fish off of the piers, and hold picnics or crawfish boils without ever having to get into a car - what is your vision for this area in five years and how will you fight to maintain this neighborhood's pedestrian nature and openness for the general public? Candidates Shel...

New Orleans City Council - District A: West End Restaurants

http://neworleansyc.blogspot.com/2006/03/west-end-restaurants.html

Tuesday, March 28, 2006. With every restaurant overlooking the Lake obliterated, what will you do to empower these restaurants and bars to come back stronger than before? As I'm sure you are aware, these locations are a combined interest of both Orleans and Jefferson parishes, and I would work with Jefferson parish officials on a package of tax credits and other incentives to spur and encourage their revival. Shelly Stephenson Midura, Sal Palmisano and Tom Wagner did not provide an answer to this question.
