City owes millions to New Orleans residents, businesses for work provided
SUMMARY: The city of New Orleans owes millions of dollars to individuals and companies, including one firm that is owed $7,000,000 for completed projects in 2022. This includes unpaid wages for teens who participated in the city's summer job program. City Council members state that this is a recurring issue that is negatively impacting people's lives, with employees unable to pay their rent or other expenses. Contractors are also refusing to do business with the city due to unpaid invoices. Various reasons have been given for the delays, including errors or incomplete information on applications and contractors not inputting their information into a new system. Council Member Moreno is proposing an ordinance to have the legislative auditor audit the city's payment systems. This move is supported by many and is intended to address the ongoing issue.
“There's one firm who's owed $7 million for projects completed in 2022,” Councilmember At-Large, Helena Moreno says.
SUMMARY: An excessive heat warning is in effect for hot pink shaded areas, with “feels like” temperatures up to 114°F. High temperatures of around 93°F are expected, feeling like 110°F due to high humidity. A chance of scattered rain exists, but temperatures may rise due to potentially scarcer rain. The first hurricane of the season, Barrel, has formed in the Atlantic and may become a category three hurricane. It's expected to reach the Caribbean Sea later in the week. Another potential system, Chris, could follow. No immediate impacts are anticipated for the Gulf Coast, but high temperatures and a few daily storms are expected through the 4th of July.
Meteorologist Alexandra Cranford has the forecast at 10 p.m. on Saturday, June 29, 2024.

SUMMARY: Biden is back on the campaign trail after facing criticism from fellow Democrats for his debate performance Thursday night. Some supporters called him out for not fact-checking false statements made by former President Donald Trump and for making falsehoods of his own. Despite calls from some supporters for him to drop out of the race, Biden remains defiant, stating he knows how to do the job and overcome setbacks. The Biden team insists there are no discussions at the White House or within the campaign about him bowing out.
