Description
In a story first reported by our partners at the Times Picayune, New Orleans Advocate, New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell may be on the hook for close to $30,000 in air travel upgrades.
Travel documents obtained by WWL-TV show Cantrell, more often than not, chooses to fly in either business or first class.
Metropolitan Crime Commission President Rafael Goyeneche says the city’s long-standing travel policy requires city employees to travel in coach.
“We see that she has upgraded her travel accommodations contrary to city policy at the expense of taxpayers,” Goyeneche said.
