Last Tuesday, Leonard Preston, a criminal with a long history of offenses, terrorized a woman inside her own home in the Lower Garden District. Preston committed a home invasion in the 1200 block of St. Andrew Street.

Fortunately, she was not killed, but as he rifled through her belongings, Preston traumatized the frightened homeowner. The next day he was arrested as police discovered the victim’s stolen cell phone in Preston’s possession.

Indeed, the New Orleans Mayor’s race just got a lot more interesting.

The issue is—not whether the city’s education system is adequate, or how to improve our economic development deficiencies or whether we have money for pumping water.

No. Right now, for one candidate who is now running commercials--the focus should be on credit cards, belated payments for personal expenses and potential violations of law.
