First class arrogance! New Orleans' Democrat mayor says flying economy is UNSAFE for black women
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne...k-taxpayer-cash.html

Mayor of New Orleans, LaToya Cantrell, is refusing to repay money spent on international business and first-class flights to France and Switzerland

Cantrell explained her purchase was a 'safety issue' rather than one of comfort

She has also justified the extravagant expense because they were business trips

Yet her entourage was fine sitting in economy class seats including her security

The mayor also upgrades to the front even on domestic flights within the U.S.

She now owes $30,000 in upgrade expenses alone as the city's travel policy states, 'Employees are required to purchase the lowest airfare available… '

Any upgrades incurred should be paid for out of employees' own pockets

Nice of her to show the same level of concern for the safety of her staff...

Modern day scalawags.
She needs a head doc, everything is racist. She can’t do her job out of fear of whites, lord knows it’s not safe out there!

Sounds like she should just stay home.

Should be easy enough for the city to just take the money out of her pay check.

Just like Mike Obama had to fly 78 person entourage all over the world on AF1 vacation in the Riviera or whatever on the taxpayer dime.

The mental gymnastics to come up with that excuse is amazing. Next, she'll have the same ghetto excuse for eating in 5-star restaurants instead of chains- she needs to feel safe as a black woman. Roll Eyes

Has there been a rash of people being murdered in coach that I missed? Sounds like I must have.

NOLA has a fine tradition of corruption. Former mayor Ray Nagin comes to mind. I believe he is due for release next year from Federal prison. They just cannot help themselves.

Why does a New Orleans mayor need to go to France and Switzerland to conduct New Orleans city business?

Perks of the job! A job her people voted for. That’s another city in ruins by the home folks.

recall petition is currently circulating

we need about 54,000 signatures. That's more signatures than votes she got at the last election for her second term

LaT is Lightfoot lite. She recently threatened to cancel Mardi Gras. Then backpedaled and said it would never happen. She also appears in court to support carjackers, too.

Studies have shown the rear seats of the plane are statistically the safest. But those studies use data, mathematics, statistics and physics to come to those conclusions.

Unfortunately, when examining airline flight safety data they didn't factor in the murder, rape, assault and robbery rate differences between first class and coach and then separate that further by age, sex and race.

If it is that unsafe, I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to be sitting right next to your security detail. I'm surprised the airlines would let anyone sit in the dangerous coach compartment. Maybe they should put armed officers on planes and call them something fancy like air marshall. They would probably have reports of all these crimes going on in coach.
