New Orleans – City employees may soon have to answer questions about their boss, Mayor Latvia Center, illegally using city money.
Canterrell traveled to Washington DC for the Yel Mayor College Conference, which took place earlier this week.
His journey was banned during a temporary journey on the unnecessary journey of the city. The ban specifically identifies conferences as unnecessary.
City Council President JP Morrell said city employees could be called to answer questions about this trip and its expenses.
He issued a stern letter to Monday (3/10), calling the Canterille journey “clearly illegal”. He asked Chief Administrative Officer Gilbert Montau and Chief Financial Officer Roman Samuel to stop the city’s funds from any compensation for travel.
He also asked for information on how the city spent the cost of the city and the employees approved them. On Thursday (3/13), he said he had not received any information.
“The next steps will be going through a more clear request, which may be a precursor to the hearing of a real committee to people, perhaps in public affairs, so as to ask the questions more directly, while the individuals are under the oath,” he said.
The next government affairs committee meeting is scheduled for next Wednesday, March 19.
He indicated that the canites may not have to face questions.
He said, “Obviously, as far as the Council directly gained the authority of the mayor as an elected official on the mayor, the council authority is clear when it comes to different people working in the city’s government.”
The Canterille press team did not respond to Fox 8’s request to comment on the possible inquiries from the employees.
Earlier, his press team said that the city did not pay for his attendance or attendance at the conference.
The administration has not explained who paid for the trip or if the journey, security and food are privately covered.
The council unanimously approved the travel ban in February after Canterille withdrew from the contract with New Orleans with public schools. The drop deal has raised concerns about the effects of the classroom from district leaders.
This amount will help the district to get into a crisis crisis more than 36 million revenue of 36 million.
In return, an estimated million will leave a case against more than 140 million taxes against the city.
Its administration says, partially, the city cannot afford the deal, which declared that the city was paid 90 million to the district in a decade.
The district has asked a parish judge in Orleans to keep the administration on the deal.
