What does this measure do?
Supports: Anti-Corruption, Government Spending Reduction
New Orleans city departments could not spend more than the approved budget allows in any category unless the budget is formally changed, and would report spending to the City Council monthly starting in 2027. Residents would get tighter control and more public reporting on how city money is spent.
Proposed by: New Orleans City Council (Ordinance 30553 M.C.S., Council President JP Morrell)
Morrell is the City Council president. He says the city budget is now a "giant suggestion" with no rule that it balance. He wants it to be a firm cap on what departments can spend.
