Mayor Cantrell Faces Ethics Charges for First-Class Flight Upgrades

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell has been hit with ethics charges by the Louisiana Board of Ethics for allegedly violating state ethics law by accepting first-class flight upgrades. The charges state that Cantrell received nearly $29,000 in upgrades, which were not in compliance with the City of New Orleans Travel Policy. Cantrell initially refused to reimburse the city, claiming the upgrades were for her health and safety, but eventually repaid the full amount. The Ethics Adjudicatory Board will now review the case and could censure or fine Cantrell up to $10,000 for the alleged violations.
