MAYOR CANTRELL ISSUES STATEMENT ON AMENDMENT #4

NEW ORLEANS — Mayor LaToya Cantrell today issued a statement on New Orleans Affordable Housing Constitutional Amendment #4 (or Amendment #4), which was on the ballot this Saturday:

 

"We knew the odds that we would face with Constitutional Amendment #4 on the ballot, but it was more than worth the effort. This is not a loss. “The most important aspect and what I loved most was building bipartisan support across the state and New Orleans," said Mayor Cantrell. "I want to thank our partners, my fellow mayors, and all who worked with us to preserve the affordable housing stock in the city. Those relationships will be nurtured. The historic bipartisan relationships created across the State will only serve New Orleans well. Housing isn’t a partisan issue. It affects all of us, and we will continue the work to place and keep our residents in their homes. The momentum and support that we built will not be diminished and our efforts are not over as we head into the Nov. 16 elections. The focus remains on infrastructure, public safety and affordable housing. The future of our city depends on it."
