What residents are saying about today’s issues
What are your thoughts about the removal of monuments in New Orleans?
JASMINE COLLINS
Houma
“Why does it need to be there so much? I’m neutral either way. I just don’t understand why it bothers people so much that they’re gone.”
KAREN LOWELL
Houma
“I think it’s a bad thing. The statues may be this or that, but I think the city has bigger fish in the freezer to fry. Fish that are rotting in there.”
PETE WILLIAMS
Houma
“It’s a disgrace. The mayor and all of his little cronies are doing this to try and get a bigger office someday.”
TABITHA YOUNG
Houma
“I think they should try and fix the streets before fixing something that was doing no harm to anyone involved.”
TANYA GUILLORY
Thibodaux
“The mayor says this was stopping people from living in New Orleans. Why is population up then?”
WANDA BOURGEOIS
Houma
“I think it’s all just a big show. I don’t think the mayor’s intentions are pure. He just wants to look good.”
