I do think all the stuff about the Pontalba Apartments and the affair distract from the real issues with LaToya. Namely she has done essentially nothing to improve the city and just seems to be fiddling in foreign countries while our infrastructure burns. But, I also suspect that some of that is by LaToya's own design. Get her political opponents to fight with her over petty things so she can pretend to have the high ground while people ignore the fact that she just isn't doing her job.
But, I will say that the stuff about all the travel is legitimate. Not only is she wasting city funds for things that don't help the city, but she isn't here working to fix our issues. And she isn't here putting a spotlight on the things Landry is doing in Baton Rouge that have direct impacts on New Orleans. Now is the time for her to unite the political power of New Orleans to protect it, and the state, from Landry and she is off on "business trips" around the world.
