"New Orleans City Council Takes Historic Action, Suspending Mayor Cantrell's Top Staffer"

Mayor Cantrell's communications director, Gregory Joseph, has been suspended without pay for the remainder of her term after being found guilty on all charges by the council. The charges stem from the use of public funds for a mailer promoting Cantrell's success during a recall effort. Joseph did not attend the hearing, and the termination hearing has been rescheduled. Mayor Cantrell expressed disappointment in the council's decision, accusing them of prioritizing public humiliation over legislative progress.

City Council Takes Action Against Mayor Cantrell's Communications Director

The City Council has charged Mayor LaToya Cantrell's communications director, Gregory Joseph, with incompetence, neglect of duty, and gross misconduct after an investigation found that he violated city and state laws by using public funds to promote Cantrell during a recall campaign. Council President JP Morrell accused Joseph of giving false testimony under oath. A public hearing to consider Joseph's removal is scheduled for October 3. Cantrell has expressed support for Joseph, but he could be dismissed or suspended with a majority vote from the council. This is the first time in recent memory that the council has sought to remove a city official under its charter authority.
