Tonight, Councilmember-At-Large Helena Moreno, in partnership with District "B" Councilmember Jay H. Banks, United Way of Southeast Louisiana, NOLA.com and others, is hosting a screening of "The Children of Central City," a striking perspective on the emotional trauma wrought by cyclical violence and the impact on the city's children.

Our First 60 Days: Focused on A Safer, More Affordable New Orleans

On Thursday, June 28, Utility, Cable, Telecommunications and Technology (UCTT) Committee Chair Helena Moreno will convene a special committee meeting to focus on the lack of progress - and answers - from Entergy New Orleans (ENO) on two key issues: reliability and renewables. Over the past several years, the New Orleans community through the City Council have asked ENO to make significant progress on remediating the unacceptable level of "clear skies" power outages and reliability issues; and on securing a substantial investment in clean, renewable power generation capabilities.

As Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen speak across town at the National Sheriffs convention, the City Council President and Vice-President's office filed a joint resolution for Thursday's full Council meeting demanding an end to the un-American and inhumane DHS policy of forcibly separating immigrant children from their parents.

At tomorrow's regularly scheduled meeting, the New Orleans City Council will have a special order of business to honor the life and legacy of the late Ella Brennan, one of New Orleans' culinary legends. Members of the Brennan family will be in attendance to receive a proclamation initiated by Council Vice President Helena Moreno and signed by all members of the Council. The order will allow members to provide their individual remembrances as the Council honors one of the grande dames of New Orleans Cuisine.
