New Orleans' Financial Struggles
New Orleans appears to have reached a critical point in its financial struggles.
Helena Moreno, the former WDSU-TV anchor, ex-state representative, and current New Orleans city councilmember, is set to take on the role of mayor. Moreno has been seeking this position for years, and now it seems she will have the opportunity to lead the city.
However, her term as mayor is expected to be challenging, as the city is seeking a $125 million bailout from the Louisiana State Bond Commission to cover its significant fiscal deficits. This massive financial shortfall is a result of the city's poor fiscal management.
Moreno has been on the city council for a while, making it difficult to sympathize with her situation as she begins her term as mayor.
