I support the use of crime cameras but I would open up the budget of the plan to other possible uses and I would be more communicative with neighborhoods about where cameras will be placed and how they would be used.   Charbonnet: I support the installation of security cameras in 20 crime hotspots throughout the city. New Orleans is facing an undermanned police department and crime cameras can help deter crime, make our citizens feel more secure, and help the police solve crime quickly and efficiently. I would work with bars and business owners in the French Quarter to come up with effective ways to make sure their patrons are safe, without forcing them to close their doors at 3 am. New Orleans is known for its twenty-four hour French Quarter and unless there are compelling reasons to the contrary we should work to keep it open for business.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507149263882-LS0UM7NBWYT2RT86OF5G/Question+7.png MAYOR Cantrell: This is part of policy platform for jobs, businesses and transportation. P rovide access to capital and resources to small business such as barbershops, beauty salons, bars, music venues and other bricks and mortar businesses. Too often, these businesses have been overlooked in our emerging entrepreneurial community, but incubators like Propeller are expanding their focus to include them and I will support this effort as mayor.   Charbonnet: My administration will create a task force that will work as a liaison between the mayor’s office and artists to propose specialized policies and hear complaints. This liaison will be from within the local music industry, and will be able to “speak the language” of local musicians and understand their points of view. The best way that government can support neighborhood venues is to hear directly from them, what their thoughts and concerns are.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507148939637-5NX56QZ5JPPJUIU30VY0/Question+4.png MAYOR Cantrell: This starts with creating a more equitable New Orleans. I think we need to address increasing wages and lowering costs. I have advocated for a higher minimum wage, but I have also worked hard to increase affordable housing opportunities, and to create better transit options for our people. I am going to continue to do so as mayor. I am also working with the masking community to create a city-recognized council that could provide a means of support for Mardi Gras Indians, social aid and pleasure clubs and other communities to be able to benefit from the marketing and branding of their culture. We need to end the exploitation of our people and create means by which our musicians can profit off of the culture that profits off of them. I also believe we can do a better job of connecting some of the organizations that have access to funding like NOTMC to our musicians. Something that I would consider is expanding the Mayor’s Office on Cultural Economy to include economic growth for the local music industry. Finally, we already have organizations like NOTMC, that are well-funded to market our culture, why can’t they be leveraged to educate businesses and create opportunities based off of these tax incentives? We need to be more collaborative and strategic. That is the approach that I have taken as a community organizer and councilmember and it is the approach that I will take as mayor.   Charbonnet: As Mayor I am willing to take the next step to work together with musicians and stakeholders in the music industry to determine what is the best way city government can help facilitate economic growth for artists working in our cultural economy. One way is to treat musicians as small businesses. Many musicians work not only in the music industry, but also as creative business owners, in the hospitality industry, and in many other unique jobs. The city can work to help musicians develop everything from a business plan to connecting them with other musicians can help increase revenues. As important to our city as music is, and it’s essential, we must adopt “best practices” when it comes to fostering a thriving music community.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507149545951-HX37L23FMYOF57F3OF5U/Question+10.png MAYOR Cantrell: Investing in education, youth, and families is crucial for improving long term economic opportunity / equity, fostering the city’s economic growth, revitalizing neighborhoods, and improving public safety and quality of life. This should include cultural activity and I propose creating an Office of Youth and Families so that we can connect our kids with the vast amount of opportunities available such as NORDC, New Orleans Public Library, sports leagues and music and art programs. For many years, I have supported our public library system and led Broadmoor’s effort to create the city’s only library and community center. One of the outstanding features of the Rosa Keller Library and Community Center is the wide array of programming, which includes cultural programs. I would like to see that effort expanded more and more throughout our city.   Charbonnet: Culture is not only an integral part of New Orleans, but I truly believe it is an asset for crime prevention. I would expand existing programs, e.g. those under the auspices of NORD, to partner with other nonprofit organizations like YaYa and other members of our cultural community to truly help make New Orleans safer, while providing an outlet for our children. Better integration of the public sector, nonprofits, and businesses can help reduce crime while fostering our vital New Orleans culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507149360983-F3YMAVKA0LV2GP97LLQN/Question+8.png MAYOR Cantrell: The way we regulate noise and sound does not work for anyone. Our current noise ordinance is not enforceable, and when officials try to enforce it, the approach is heavy handed. We should discuss the curfew in context of reforming the ordinance. I do think we can do better, but I will not make any changes to the current ordinance until I re-engage with the music community, neighborhoods and anyone else that could be affected by changes to the current law.   Charbonnet: We need to work together to find a middle ground when it comes to musicians working past curfew. I am willing to work with advocates and other members of the community to figure out what is the best way to balance working musicians and the needs of neighbors. We should take a common sense approach and sit musicians and stakeholders in this community down to figure out how to get everyone on the same page. Our musicians are a valuable part of our community and my administration will reflect that in every decision.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507148240786-1E6FFABP2O7G4ADX54SP/Question+1.png MAYOR Cantrell: For me, the term would apply to those that help define, embody and exemplify culture while bringing it to others. That can happen through music, visual arts, dress,dance, food, writing and possibly other forms including architecture and craftsmanship. Determining hard fast criteria for culture bearers, especially New Orleans culture bearers, is going to be subjective and invite great, full-throated debate. In other words, when you try to define what is and what isn’t culture--and we see and hear these discussions in our restaurants, coffee shops, bars and now in social media channels--count on an argument. And it’s a fight worth having, but I think true leadership is about bringing people together, listening and building consensus. So I would prefer to create an atmosphere that can facilitate that, and to focus on preserving and celebrating our culture.   Charbonnet: A culture bearer is a person steeped in a craft with a tradition, but who brings that tradition forward creatively. Culture bearers are important to New Orleans because they represent the very fabric of our city.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507149713516-KSTYV8W2CGDKCQ2PMI4W/Question+11.png MAYOR Cantrell: The city’s public schools will return to local control under the Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB) in 2018. This is an opportunity to improve our schools and involve communities. While the mayor’s office doesn’t directly oversee or fund public education, the office, through the creation of an Office of Youth and Families, can serve as a connector and facilitator between the public and private entities invested in education / youth and families. As a Councilperson, I was able to find $10 million in unspent funds, which I redirected to our public school systems. Working with the Office of Youth and Families, as mayor I would be open to leveraging the work of that office to seek to opportunities to perpetuate this tradition within our school system.   Charbonnet: Building partnerships with NORD and our school system, will help encourage our schools to implement programs that will instruct our students in the arts, music, and culture, maintaining our rich heritage.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507149045990-889KP4EGNKMR43CRPPNC/Question+5.png MAYOR Cantrell: I feel that we are often nickeling and diming our people and its effect is obviously more impactful on our poorer residents. It’s unfair and I want to reform our fees and fines structure.   Charbonnet: Social Aid and Pleasure clubs are some of New Orleans’s most important civic institutions. Government has to work with these clubs to make sure they are paying a fair and equitable fee for their annual second lines. Under the current fee structure, Second lines clearly pay more than their fair share of fees. My administration will work with Safety and Permits to reduce these fees, while still making sure that all safety standards are met.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507149796947-9E3LI7EZG6YCJWSMNNGM/Question+12.png MAYOR Cantrell: Yes   Charbonnet: Musicians are valuable assets and creating priority loading/unloading zones for musicians is a good idea. Once elected I will use the transition period to review important suggestions like priority loading zone with business owners and musicians to determine the most effective way to achieve the ultimate goal, to keep musicans safe and help them be on time and ready for their performances.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507149907376-IM8WRSG9YXYXELZOOHPI/Question+13.png MAYOR Cantrell: Building on what I’ve already addressed for that office, I would want to expand its vision to include seats at the table for our culture bearers so that their voices are heard and we can create policy, decisions and goals for not only maintaining our cultural economy, but also so we are providing resources for its survival. We need to honor our musicians and our culture bearers, and more importantly we need to give them resources so they can thrive. Musicians and the music community have clearly boosted the local economy, particularly the tourism industry, and yet the City hasn’t done nearly enough to recognize that contribution, nor share in the dollars generated. Too many musicians and their families live hand to mouth without health insurance. That needs to stop and under my administration, it will.   Charbonnet: Before I take office I will examine every department. Every office, public-private partnership, and recipient of public funds will be reviewed. Pending that review, my administration would work with the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Economy to further develop relationships with musicians and member of the cultural economy in order to facilitate economic growth specifically for them. The Office of Cultural Economy has done a great job helping coordinate cultural events on a large scale, my administration would focus more on keeping the actual musicians in the loop.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507148783036-H6NJ25TJXFLNEOHV3QLR/Question+3.png MAYOR Cantrell: I think in order for New Orleans to be considered a world class city, we need a world class public transportation system that takes into account o ur workers and not just tourists. I will want to fully examine the budget to see where the money can come from. Additionally, we should work with RTA and groups such as Ride to ensure we are taking advantage of all federal funding. I also interested in providing shuttles and other methods so musicians and other hospitality workers can safely and cost effectively get to work.   Charbonnet: I am a strong advocate for public transportation, My administration will work with transportation experts and RTA to determine where our existing needs are. Right now our existing transportation system needs to be more efficient, frequent, and on time. Investing in and expanding RTA is essential.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507149432406-BUGIBMU7CDBMML6L2VHR/Question+9.png MAYOR Cantrell: As previously stated, I would like to look at expanding t he Mayor’s Office on Cultural Economy and creating a city-recognized committee for our music, masking and other culture bearer communities so that government is listening, collaborating and building consensus before implementing policies and decisions that affect these communities. This has always been my process--it worked particularly well with the smoke-free ordinance--and I will continue this process as mayor.   Charbonnet: I’ve focused my career on being a bridge builder, and that will not stop when I become mayor. I will work with our many diverse communities on policies that take into consideration the values of each of these groups.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507148631672-W9GXE4KMJBO06S1BP2WO/Question+2.png MAYOR Cantrell: As a New Orleans Councilwoman, I have prioritized creating affordable housing by creating the density bonus , redirecting the Neighborhood Improvement Fund to homeowners and neighbors instead of code enforcement attorneys, working with housing advocates and getting state funding for case management services for homeowners stuck in Road Home. It’s not enough because our people continue to be priced out and forced to leave neighborhoods that their families have called home for generations. As mayor, I will do the following: POLICY DETAILS Use all the tools in the toolbox , including many of those proposed in the local Put Housing First Platform. EMPOWER NEIGHBORHOODS “Provide affordable housing options for local citizens” ● Focus on preservation of existing affordable housing stock.. ● Offer incentives for landlords to moderate rent. ● Encourage new housing in keeping with the character and affordability of our neighborhoods. ● Transfer remaining Road Home properties to new homeowners / Incentives for local citizens. ● Encourage employers to provide down payment assistance for their employees ● Reform the lien process and provide property tax relief to struggling families. ● Help families own homes and build wealth / First-time owner tax abatement program. ● Prioritize vacant property development and increase access to capital for development. ● In terms of STRs, bring neighborhoods into the discussion, examine new requirements and tighten enforcement. ● Work with legislature on a constitutional amendment allowing the city more flexibility/oversight over property tax policy. Use this to incentivize affordable housing. (GNOHA questionnaire) ● Incentivize energy efficiency projects for the landlord community, to help lower energy bills, while also creating more green jobs in our community (GNOHA) ● Build affordable units: Gap financing program for developers leveraging other state and federal incentives (eg Historic Tax Credits, 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credits)   Charbonnet: As Mayor, my administration would emphasize facilitating musicians housing. The development of affordable housing in New Orleans, especially for our working people, has not kept pace with the growing demand. My administration will approach this problem aggressively by prioritizing the development of safe, healthy and affordable rental units and homeownership near jobs and essential public services. We are losing our natural musicians village with fewer and fewer musicians living in Treme, the birthplace of Jazz. It is apparent that this city is in an affordable housing crisis, this crisis hits our cultural economy the hardest. I have put together a detailed plan to address the affordability crisis and made it public for everyone to view.

Unfortunately, the majority of those revenues do not go to the city government. However, I am committed to working with the CVB, New Orleans Tourism and Marketing Corporation and other entities that receive monies to find ways in which our workers benefit. Together with these groups we can advocate for increased transportation opportunities to potential licensing agreements for musicians, Mardi Gras Indians, etc. I would also like to see our financial institutions help our industry workers by creating financial literacy programs and providing pre-approval services for home purchasing. The fastest way to grow equity and wealth is through home ownership, however, often the hospitality and cultural workers are paid in cash and it is more difficult to get them qualified. We should work together to find more solutions to this issue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507079018432-V5C6LC8F7YTVGRMOGHO3/Question+11.png DISTRICT C Palmer: I support arts-based curriculums for schools (I was a board member of the Homer Plessy School that is arts-based and all of my children attended arts-based schools). I saw firsthand the importance of fostering the arts and cultural traditions for our children. While I was in office I supported groups such as Roots of Music, Treme Community Education Program, The New Orleans African American Museum and other similar organizations. I will continue to advocate and support through discretionary funding sources for programs in and out of schools that connect our young people with their cultural history and traditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507073176503-WAV8HTDRL76VVVX462JH/Question+1.png DISTRICT C Palmer: Any individual in New Orleans who helps to honor and share the unique cultural values and experiences of this city. Someone who has shown the desire to learn about our culture and who honors its roots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507079055184-4P5T92WK195SLQQTTURX/Question+12.png DISTRICT C Palmer: Yes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507078805044-U4S8LS8NEBL23D3P2U9S/Question+7.png DISTRICT C Palmer: My City Council track record demonstrates a commitment to supporting neighborhood bars, music venues, and small cultural businesses. I helped ensure that small venues were “legalized” in the permitting process so they would not be at risk of being shut down. Examples of this are: Candlelight Lounge, Mother In Law Lounge and Bacchanal. In addition, I worked with new businesses so they could open, such as Golden Feather, Siberia, Faubourg Wines and Second Vine. Furthermore, I worked with the Frenchmen Street merchants and Jan Ramsey to assist and facilitate any concerns they had. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507078756681-0TNA338QY9NTR93E1WCL/Question+6.png DISTRICT C Palmer: I do not support the Security Plan as proposed. I would keep the plan to install brighter LED lighting in the Vieux Carre, and I would change aspects of the Command Center and what information it collects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507078858993-O0AMXYOIAYXM6JZZLGUI/Question+8.png DISTRICT C Palmer: Yes, as long as all street performers, artists, and other entertainers are treated equally and all stakeholders are included in the decision-making process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507078714525-X2HE21BCKRP63XMHE159/Question+5.png DISTRICT C Palmer: We can address this through the permitting structure at City Hall. This is a huge issue in District C as the vast majority of special events and second lines are held here. I will work with the various departments that are in charge of permitting to streamline the process and make it more equitable. I would also be willing to work with the CVB and NOTMC to find funding sources and matching monies for these events so that the entire burden is not placed on our smaller Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507078966614-AZZ93VSUI1R3EGQEMW94/Question+10.png DISTRICT C Palmer: I will ensure that NORD receives the necessary resources to expand their youth programming with an emphasis on utilizing our city’s unique cultural assets. I envision city officials, the non-profit community and our culture bearers cooperating to design and implement the curriculum for this programming. Additionally, I will advocate for increased funding for nonprofits (like the Arts Council) whose core competency is art and cultural programming. Each year I was on the council, I fought for and received funding for the Arts Council - especially their art granting program which affects artists and cultural outreach throughout the city. Many of these grant recipients worked with children and young adults in afterschool programs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507078922204-0W2WMVJ26WJRPYTG4PQK/Question+9.png DISTRICT C Palmer: When I was on the council, I created citizen-led committees that assisted in crafting any legislation that would be impactful (from the Sustainable Transportation Advisory Committee for transit issues to the Algiers Blight Committee to committees that oversaw the development of Crescent Park and the St. Roch Market). I will continue to do this when I am in office and will also include groups such as MACCNO when any legislation or issues come up that could affect the cultural economy. This was also demonstrated when we were crafting a sound ordinance. I ensured that all stakeholders had representation at the table, from musicians, to Mardi Gras Indians, to artists to resident groups. A shared goal amongst these groups was the desire to base this legislation in science - to that end, we hired an acoustical engineer (who also worked as a musician) to conduct a study. Through this process, sound complaints became decriminalized, and enforcement responsibilities were removed from NOPD and given to the Health Department. Moreover, we created open dialogue between diverse groups. In addition, when I was on the Council I was a member of the Governmental Affairs committee, chaired by Councilmember Susan Guidry. This was a time when there was conflict between NOPD and Mardi Gras Indians in terms of parading without permits, and interfering with the cultural traditions of the Indians. Our committee brought the various Indian Tribes together with NOPD district commanders to find a solution. Together, an NOPD policy manual was created to educate officers in our cultural traditions so as to respect the parading traditions of the Indians https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507078466499-B8PJMUOEOY444TGUIYNQ/Question+2.png DISTRICT C Palmer: We must reduce blight, create affordable housing with incentives for homeownership, and amend the Short Term Rental Ordinance. New Orleans still has roughly 35,000 vacant and blighted houses. When I served on the City Council from 2010 - 2014, I made blight reduction a major focus of my tenure. I created the Algiers Blight Committee, which met monthly with all relevant city agencies including community members. We worked through a list of the most egregious situations of blight. The committee successfully dealt with over 500 units. If elected, I would seek to re-establish this committee. I also extended the Lot Next Door Program making vacant lots available to surrounding neighbors who were not eligible under the original program. Moreover, I asked for and won a set-aside allocation of $52 million of disaster CDBG for soft second money. This allowed access to funds for first time homebuyers to help with down payments and closing costs. The program was widely successful and utilized the entirety of the allocation. I believe homeownership is the best way to accumulate wealth and gain economic equity. In office, I will advocate for similar programs for first time homebuyers, making homeownership more affordable throughout New Orleans. Additionally, I will back special incentives for first time buyers to purchase NORA properties to get these houses back into commerce. STRs are currently banned in the French Quarter. However, the Marigny, Bywater, St. Roch and Treme are over-saturated since the French Quarter moratorium went into effect. Residents complain of feeling like they live in a residential hotel, businesses struggle to stay open without a local customer base, and an exodus of permanent neighbors means opportunities for crime to flourish unseen. Furthermore, remaining residents are now being subject to exorbitant rises in property taxes. A “one-size-fits-all” policy is impractical for the diverse neighborhoods of New Orleans. I’m in favor of neighborhoods self-determining the limits of STRs, encouraging homestead exemption STRs, and capping and regulating whole-home rentals the same as existing commercial properties. Essentially, they should be treated as commercial endeavours and follow the zoning laws as such. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507078576834-47Z70F2LHW7SUGX7PYMH/Question+3.png DISTRICT C Palmer: I want to make sure that all forms of transportation, including ferries and streetcars, are connected to circulators and bus rapid transit. As former chair of the Transportation Committee, I passed transformative legislation (Complete Streets Ordinance) to ensure that connectivity is the basis of all forms of transit. Increased bus routes and connectors are hugely important in District C. The number one reason workers are fired from a job is because they are late for work. We have to focus on buses and all other forms of transit to bring equity to our people. Additionally, I will refuse to increase parking meter rates and parking fines in areas where hospitality and cultural workers rely on parking. We shouldn’t generate revenue with a regressive tax on our service and hospitality workers, musicians, performers, and artists who make up the backbone of our tourism industry. I will support the creation of special parking passes and rates for workers while also finding other sources of revenue that don't burden our hardworking residents. https://maccno.com/at-large-seat-2 daily 0.75 2017-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507130538223-WA5Y08DHR7K2NFGLBKJG/Question+4.png AT LARGE DIVISION 2 Williams: In this year’s current budget cycle, I have proposed a new position be added to municipal government to better compensate and include our artists and culture bearers in City projects and decision making. This new position would address issues such as this and act as a liaison between the communities that maintain and create our culture to those who manage our tourism and infrastructure   Nowak: Economic and Income Inequality is a major pressing issue across New Orleans. It has been a primary policy focus of mine and I have two specific proposals that will get more tourist dollars in the pockets of our residents. First, I support #FightFor15 but I feel I must advocate for even more. I propose a minimum wage of $18/hr, as a recent study has shown that is what is needed to afford a two bedroom apartment in New Orleans. Furthermore, I will not forget about our tipped wage employees who have not recieved a raise from the $2.13/hr minimum since 1991. I will raise that minimum to $8/hr. That will do a lot to get revenues from tourism into the hands of our workers. Beyond that, I am proposing a Lagniappe Dividend. The monies distributed with be raised on a special tourist dense commercial zone 5% sales tax on alcohol sales. Checks will be distributed quarterly to every resident, and while not enough to ensure a Universal Basic Income, will build a supplemental safety net while we work towards a floor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507130695519-GV60CV6ZSTAO66ON3TKX/Question+8.png AT LARGE DIVISION 2 Williams: Yes   Nowak: Yes. Certain allowances can be made in residential neighborhoods after community input, but there should always be 24 hour music zones for street musicians in the city, and I think any curfew before 10pm is excessive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507130839897-V4XTQ3HG5TRYR4X01Z7M/Question+12.png AT LARGE DIVISION 2 Williams: Yes   Nowak: I support creating priority loading/unloading zones for musicians, but I would like to see both lower Bourbon and Frenchman closed to through traffic, so these zones I would like to have on the intersecting side streets. That way these musicians still have the zones available when these streets are closed off by pedestrian foot traffic, and they are working their biggest gigs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507130627851-MUD7SOU9HNW923FAS9X0/Question+6.png AT LARGE DIVISION 2 Williams: While I believe that we need to continue to actively recruit NOPD officers and have them patrolling on the streets to better connect with community members and address constituent concerns, I do not support increased video surveillance of our neighborhoods. I believe that money could be better spent elsewhere and that under this current Presidential administration it will put vulnerable communities even further at risk to increase surveillance of them under the guise of security.   Nowak: No. I do not like the precedent it sets nor the direction it is heading. I do like the proposal to close off the first eight blocks of Bourbon to vehicles, with removal bollards so emergency vehicles can still get through. I would insist all video feeds to this Central Command be fixed to in service patrol vehicles and body cams, as well as any business that chooses to participate, but no business licensing should require it nor should we put in permanent fixed crime cameras on the street. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507130382187-09O34OGFXTHQAF1DS6VL/Question+1.png AT LARGE DIVISION 2 Williams: I define a culture bearer as one who carries cultural traditions or practices with them through the lived environment and from one generation to the next. This spans many mediums from food to music to art to spirituality. I hesitate to place strict criteria on the term as so much culture is a living, moving entity that often can not be easily defined by the outside observer but is a dear and deeply personal element to those who identify as a culture bearer.   Nowak: I define a culture bearer as an individual who has shown throughout their life not just significant artistic contributions but also community service and mentorship to upcoming generations. The primary criteria I would use to define this would be a strong educational component. This educational component does not need to be in a formal academic setting, but show that culture is maintained through transmission much more than performance per se. Art is art, but doesn't become culture until it serves and enriches the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507130477668-FMSA6L7W1W88T461ZOIG/Question+3.png AT LARGE DIVISION 2 Williams: I have been working with the RTA to push their Strategic Plan towards serving the low-income constituents who need reliable, affordable public transportation the most. Additionally, it is part of a responsible housing plan to include transportation issues and I am working towards improving infrastructure and bicycle/pedestrian safety to make travelling throughout our city safer and more efficient.   Nowak: First and foremost I am extremely displeased with city government handing over the operations of NORTA to Veolia Transport in 2008. We don't need a private for profit company running our public transport, as a profit motive underserves the utilitarian gains of public transport. I will seek to break this contract as soon as possible. I believe that is the necessary step to make transport investments to Algiers and New Orleans East, as we have seen the only investments being made currently in service of attracting more tourists. I would like to expand public transport to a light rail citywide system, and my first focus will be rail connections from NO EAST, Lower 9th Ward, and Algiers to the rest of the city. I have a platform goal of making every place in the city accessible within 45 minutes of public transit by 2025. We need to connect all job opportunities with all citizens! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507130433766-OJ3106KKOGXJQ977OXB5/Question+2.png AT LARGE DIVISION 2 Williams: The housing crisis in our city went unaddressed for too long. Families who have lived in New Orleans for generations are being pushed out of their neighborhoods and it is increasingly difficult for renters or homebuyers in a wide range of income brackets to find a safe, healthy place to live. Initiatives such as the Smart Housing Mix and changes to the Master Plan to allow for greater density will help us achieve our development goals. As a current Councilmember At Large I have been involved in and supportive of the process for both. Additionally, I will continue to work with local finance leaders and the Office of Community Development to give them the resources they need to enhance the programs they currently offer and encourage community building through investing in first time homebuyers.   Nowak: Housing costs are surging, and I have a number of policy proposals to deal with this issue. First and foremost we must recognize that the AirBnB legislation that my incumbent opponent passed is the primary reason for this surge. I will make all AirBnB listings have an attached homestead exemption requirement, and give some teeth to the penalties for running an AirBnB outside of regulatory framework. I have proposed a property tax mill increase freeze during my tenure. I also intend to build tens of thousands of tiny homes across the thousands of vacant HANO lots in this city. They will be used for housing first homeless remediation, as well as rent to own. I intend to create a New Orleans Federal Credit Union with a mandate to provide inexpensive financing to working class families with the goal of increasing home ownership rates across the city but especially among the African American community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507130584385-WCFMT2E70NSD5ULUNAA5/Question+5.png AT LARGE DIVISION 2 Williams: I am very interested in learning more about and addressing this issue. Through budget hearings as well as reaching out to Safety and Permits personally, I believe we can create a more equitable structure.   Nowak: A fundamental inequity in parade fee structures gives the appearance of targeted and calculated systemic racism. We must immediately correct this if the city's official position is that is not the case. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507130763791-U6DLE9N3K0BFLODLTENH/Question+10.png AT LARGE DIVISION 2 Williams: I have fought hard for a more organized and better fund recreation department while an At Large Councilmember. These efforts must continue. I believe there is much untapped potential in partnering cultural groups with NORD facilities to bring interesting and important programming to our young people. I have also partnered with Kids Rethink New Orleans for several Young Leaders Series, a program which guides engaged high school students in workshops about history, politics, culture and leadership. We plan to continue this series in the Spring.   Nowak: I would like to see more funding and expanded programming at places like the Treme Recreation Community Center. I would like to see our culture bearers creating a positive feedback loop through mentorship programs at NORD locations throughout the city https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507130800432-7FOTN6RENAVMIYSODHAC/Question+11.png AT LARGE DIVISION 2 Williams: Though the City Council has no governance or funding power over our school systems, I have been able to fund organizations that share musical and cultural traditions with younger generations through Harrah’s and Cox grant funds.   Nowak: My candidacy has a platform policy of expanding access to community college universally for all residents. City Council does not have much control over what the Orleans Parish School Board does with the 40% of the city revenue it receives. City Council can pick up the gauntlet for those failed by our public school system by providing redial classes at local community colleges, publicly provided 2 yr associate program, and a concerted and well funding effot by the New Orleans Public Library to get our residents to a 100% functional literacy rate. I want all these programs to work in synchronicity to an endowment efforts between public and private sources to fully fund the best musical programs in the academic world. Scholarships can be provided to some of our best and brightest for graduate level studies. Our culture bearers will be able to act as mentors to students across both higher education, and NORD community programming. I will give my bully pulpit support to candidates for OPSB who recognize the need for musical education and funding for our K-12 students. To pass the torch we need to minimize obstacles to participation for both mentor and student. That means paying our mentors and having tuition free classes for our students. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507130725717-8WTU4LGROLJ20PEP87YX/Question+9.png AT LARGE DIVISION 2 Williams: I am a firm believer in hearing from all stakeholders in order to craft policy that best reflects our values and goals. My door is always open to meet with cultural groups from any medium or field. During my time as City Council President my office has reached out and continues to reach out to a diverse spread of musicians to perform the national anthem. This practice offers exposure for a wide range of musicians from steel pan to solo saxophone to four part quartets. As long as I am City Council President we will have live anthem performances and seek out cultural communities far and wide to participate.   Nowak: I would like to empower Ambassadors of Culture to emerge by having frequent Public Hearings and Community Forums. Our city government needs to empower voices, especially in underrepresented communities, and so these efforts should be held with a variety of time and places in mind. NGOs such as MaCCO clearly have a role to play in all this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507130662245-HJHWQN32M8JXWGUTYGSC/Question+7.png AT LARGE DIVISION 2 Williams: I bring my personal business to local establishments every day. I also highlight local small businesses and entrepreneurs as a Councilmember through City Council proclamations, zoning legislation and social media.   Nowak: There are a number of encumbrances that small businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs face in New Orleans. I will be seeking to continue the dialogue with open hearings, pare back excessive bureaucracy, and incentivize investment in our local communities. If there is anything my office can do I want you to always feel free to reach out. https://maccno.com/at-large-seat-1 daily 0.75 2017-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507133347109-YWGLFEQ6TBIQ6VRF4OQ5/Question+10.png AT LARGE DIVISION 1 Bouie: One unique aspect of our culture is it provides opportunities to belong...to be a part of something that not only develops an art form but also a sense of belonging to a sub culture that is recognized and appreciated. I would encourage expanding art and culture experiences to include mentoring, teambuilding and business tutorials to enable the youth development.   Cutno: The Municipal Auditorium is a 7,853-seat multi-purpose arena in New Orleans, Louisiana, and a component of the New Orleans Cultural Center, alongside the Mahalia Jackson Theater of the Performing Arts is located in the Tremé neighborhood in Louis Armstrong Park adjacent to Congo Square will be a youth Cultural Art Center. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507133284987-LIK092OV0E75TL6GFM68/Question+8.png AT LARGE DIVISION 1 Bouie: Yes, my only concern would be associated with some musicians that are underage. I would like to review and make a decision that best supports their safety.   Cutno: No. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507133000117-IXZSL7M1ESX335KU6HAW/Question+3.png AT LARGE DIVISION 1 Bouie: The RTA schedule should be revised to accommodate this situation. Public transportation should be all about providing transportation to the PUBLIC that needs it. I have a friend that works in the hotel industry and sleeps at the hotel for hours after his shift ends, waiting for the RTA to arrive. Because they provide such a vital service, I would engage business owners to provide a “lil Easy” type of van service as an alternative, it’s a win-win.   Cutno: I will add 300 new buses on line. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507133316615-FRA86A93RA761L4S4M0Z/Question+9.png AT LARGE DIVISION 1 Bouie: This is an example where equity is favored over equality. The needs of each genre are different and we have to develop policies that support each genre as this is not a “one size fits all” situation. I’m for taking the time to engage and understand what’s working and what’s not and develop unique “win/win” policies.   Cutno: We will work together to do this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507133085157-Q89LU010FJVLMYEL6KLO/Question+4.png AT LARGE DIVISION 1 Bouie: I would support a culture bearer committee or agency that monitors the treatment of culture bearers with regard to salaries, benefits and transportation. I see culture bearers as a protected class, who are vital to the city.   Cutno: Stimulate our tourism budget by making new investments and expand the tourism $7.4 billion dollars economic impact to New Orleans. Turn Jazz Land Theme Park into Hollywood film studios and Amusement park for tourism, new jobs and new tax revenue for New Orleans East residents. Turn the West bank naval base into a NCIS Hollywood film studio for tourism and build a Film and Digital Media technology center. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507133410034-5G9XVISAA08BF8EV5B53/Question+12.png AT LARGE DIVISION 1 Bouie: Yes, every opportunity to support our cultural bearers should be put in place   Cutno: Yes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507132854981-68632QYNEU8VHRIC1EEH/Question+1.png AT LARGE DIVISION 1 Bouie: I define and model the term culture bearer as one who visibly carries their culture with them and helps to spread it by being authentically visible in all communities.   Cutno: How do you define the term “culture bearer”? 1A. For most, if not all, cultures the nature-culture distinction is of paramount importance. A basic paradox of human existence centers on the fact that as biological beings were are part of the natural world, yet that which makes us human sets us apart from all other members of that natural world. Once a society settles on a cluster of symbols for human culture -- use of fire, speech, and agriculture are common -- the society explains how humans attain these items. Interestingly, it is rarely a simple gift of all the gods. More often, a culture-bearer, divine, human, or even animal, delivers these gifts -- at a price. The elements that set humankind apart from the animals also create a tension between humankind and the gods. The process of becoming fully human inevitably means the end of the paradaisical age. What criteria do you use to determine to whom the term applies? 1B. Any individual, especially a migrant, who carries, and thus diffuses, cultural values and traits between societies. The role of culture bearers is particularly important within those cultures undergoing transition or experiencing threat from outside the culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507133375374-7O27ZOXURBLUYP32DSAZ/Question+11.png AT LARGE DIVISION 1 Bouie: The curriculum of schools can be expanded to include not just Louisiana and New Orleans history but also cultural history to generate an appreciation not only for our music but also our architecture. Students should be educated to appreciate, why tourist come. It’s to see them, to hear their music and understand where they live. The youth can begin to see their neighborhoods and the people that live there as valued.   Cutno: I will fund the Municipal Auditorium is a 7,853-seat multi-purpose arena in New Orleans, Louisiana, and a component of the New Orleans Cultural Center, alongside the Mahalia Jackson Theater of the Performing Arts is located in the Tremé neighborhood in Louis Armstrong Park adjacent to Congo Square will be a youth Cultural Art Center. We have no control over the Charter School System. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507132939707-G39ZJO3TTKD4WBD585P6/Question+2.png AT LARGE DIVISION 1 Bouie: I understand and support that the culture of New Orleans is an authentic one. We didn’t design it or build it to attract tourists. Our culture, especially in our neighborhoods, is simply who we are. We build New Orleans for us and that’s why tourists come. If we begin to build New Orleans for tourists, such as short-term rentals, we will loose on both fronts. Tourists don’t want to see or experience a staged neighborhood, they want to see an authentic neighborhood, populated with indigenous people. I have a number of ideas but this is one of them: Developers are targeting our neighborhoods and reporting any visible violation to the city’s code enforcement office. This results in fines and penalties that residents can’t pay and when fines aren’t paid, the owner is denied the ability to pay their property taxes until the fines are paid. Eventually, the property is sold to developers for nonpayment of property taxes. This is in many cases the forced gentrification that we are witnessing. This has to be changed. Owners should always be allowed to pay their taxes. I will fight for this change once on the city council.   Cutno: Affordable Housing for NOLA Artists, Entertainers, Musician’s and low-income and working class people. Investment of $17 million for affordable housing programs, loans, and grants, along with rental assistance, so that all of our residents can afford to live in a New Orleans home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507133151411-TD7SGRFDF0N4YZUUCYXB/Question+5.png AT LARGE DIVISION 1 Bouie: This is an easy fix. When you look at the cost to provide security, street barriers and sanitation for large parades, there is no comparison to the cost to facilitate a Social Aid and Pleasure Club parade. The fee structure should be based on a fee for many musicians, cultural practitioners, and service industry workers travel services provided by the city. I would even explore complimentary services for our social clubs.   Cutno: No fees for Social Aid and Pleasure clubs, Mardi Gras parades and Second lines. The streets of New Orleans belong to them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507133212607-S7FMVYNNXZHIHAV2T9HX/Question+6.png AT LARGE DIVISION 1 Bouie: Though well intentioned, the plan has elements that may cause irreparable damage to the culture of the French Quarter. I feel that there is too much focus on the French Quarter when there are other areas of the city that need the attention as it related to crime. The reduced hours of operation are not aligned with the reputation of the French Quarter as being a 24 hr. entertainment center. The will also hurt business and the employees who work in these businesses. Lastly, how will individuals be encouraged to leave the streets and what will this look like for all individuals.   Cutno: Do you support the current administration’s $40 million dollar Security Plan? NO. What is one component that you would keep, and one component that you would change? I will keep Vehicles will be barred from the first eight blocks of Bourbon Street. I will change the 3 a.m. to discourage patrons from spilling outside, and an early morning spraying of Bourbon Street will further discourage revelry there. Bourbon will always be open. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507133251506-VUBCOWBIYHJOOE86RL34/Question+7.png AT LARGE DIVISION 1 Bouie: All of the classifications of business that are listed above are entitled to the same protections as any business or citizen in the city. Once an establishment is licensed it should be free to operate, free of harassment. I’d like to understand the types of problems experienced by these business and address them head on.   Cutno: Stimulate our tourism budget by making new investments and expand the tourism $7.05 billion dollars economic impact to New Orleans. Turn Jazz Land Theme Park into Hollywood film studios and Amusement park for tourism, new jobs and new tax revenue for New Orleans East residents.

Many of our elders find great pleasure in sharing and teaching our youth on their special talents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507085104808-HA9TH8GVBE41VJM8DYYZ/Question+3.png DISTRICT E Hebert: I have participated in several RideNOLA community meetings to discuss and weigh in on transportation issues in New Orleans East. Input from the community in addressing the Strategic Mobility Plan did address the most important issues from polls as frequency and reliability. In addition, Bus service from New Orleans East is more expensive due to Express Bus routes. I provide input to advocate for increased bus service, especially on the four lines that travel into the city in New Orleans East and the three lines in the Lower 9th Ward. I am a proponent adding additional stops, making the APP available to track bus locations and adding another NIGHTOWL line for residents of New Orleans East, by attending these meetings and speaking up for the residents of my community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507085187216-9OO5D5NQGTZB4DZAOM31/Question+4.png DISTRICT E Hebert: I would advocate for an additional percentage of these dollars are returned to the City of New Orleans. Our Representatives at the state level are needed to push for the change in legislation in protect the unique culture that bring tourist to our city time and again. The Office of Cultural Economy, the Tourism board and the AFLCIO should be an essential part in working with our musicians, artists, and culture bearers to set pay scales for their contribution to making New Orleans a tourism destination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507085233124-RT1QV24OY632URINMFOR/Question+7.png DISTRICT E Hebert: I would support these establishments by encouraging them to list their businesses and activities on the GONOLA and tourism websites. In addition, attend events as I am a true New Orleans girl and enjoy surrounding myself with our unique community members. https://maccno.com/district-b daily 0.75 2017-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507090371834-5AJ6616N5QNWNZPJIUPT/Question+4.png DISTRICT B Banks: Our culture bearers must be compensated fairly. I will work to insure that organizations and business that employ our musicians and other artists pay a living wage.   Bloom: I currently sit on the NOCCA board, where I have the pleasure of experiencing art and performance from youth in our vibrant city. I pledge to support dedication of funding to programs for the arts among youth as well as adults who contribute to our culture. We should remember however that the best way to help our culture bearers to move beyond poverty to a comfortable living, is to ensure that they have adequate opportunities for steady work. Funding campaigns to attract tourism is an important part of that, and one I will also work to maintain. I also favor educating tourists on how they can support local culture and will partner with tourism and hospitality groups as well as artists and coalitions, to further this goal.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507090758046-XT4SZVRJVS75PHBX3IYE/Question+8.png DISTRICT B Banks: Yes   Bloom: I would remove the 8pm curfew, butalsowould advocate a more common-sense policy on noise that does not punish street musicians but also allows for some reasonable accommodations during weekday evenings, to create an environment that honors performers and also respects neighbors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507090824242-GR7O1UIUSEU9OS35ZHMQ/Question+9.png DISTRICT B Banks: I will work in conjunction with the various entities to determine what policies may need to be added or revised to support our cultural community. Together we can institute effective policies that will enhance our values.   Bloom: I pledge to have an open door for community members and representatives to weigh in on policy decisions. Our diverse culture, music, performers, and all creative enterprises should be celebrated, and I am ready to implement innovative ideas to support those in arts and entertainment.     https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507090550821-N331QXRSW8K8G4LIEH3V/Question+6.png DISTRICT B   Banks: I will review the data for the current plan to determine what has been effective and what has not. Security must be effective for the entire city, for our residents as well as tourists.   Bloom: I support anything that makes our streets safer. If the presence of State Police in the French Quarter creates more confidence in public safety in the area, helps to decrease delays in response times, and works as a valuable partnership with NOPD 8th District officers, then I would support maintaining that limited partnership until such time as NOPD can fully operate and meet policing needs within the Quarter. I am currently quite frustrated with the infrastructure component of the strategy, with the entry point and first block of Bourbon street being blocked with unending construction, especially when local entertainers and hospitality workers cannot easily access their work in the French Quarter. We must solve both our infrastructure and crime problems. It is imperative that both residents and visitors feel and are safe. We all have too much at stake.     https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507090253950-9SIJ0X512CNKFP0G1W6Z/Question+3.png DISTRICT B   Banks: We must make jobs and housing accessible in more widespread locations by increasing transportation options. We can assess RTA rider data for busses and streetcars to see where additional routes are needed. We can also evaluate options for bikes, scooters, reasonable parking and child-care locations that are near transit.   Bloom: I absolutely support increased public transit for our hospitality workers. In my discussions with constituents and stakeholders in the industry, I constantly hear how difficult a commute on public transit can be for those who work late shifts and must travel home at off-peak hours. Inconsistency and delays result in people being late for work or other appointments, often opting to either take a costly cab or ride service, or to leave much earlier than they should, spending unnecessary time away from their families, due to poor on-time performance with bus routes. I will support a comprehensive accounting of existing routes on RTA lines, and call for public input on creating new options to better serve our working communities.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507090436799-6WNNI0QAP9IUEYEL2OGF/Question+5.png DISTRICT B   Banks: I participate in the parades as a member of Zulu and I support a fair and equitable parade fees for our Social Aid and Pleasure clubs.   Bloom: Our Mardi Gras parade fees are based in law on the fact that Mardi Gras parades along the traditional routes create tremendous economic revenue for our city, and that Mardi Gras is a production of the city of New Orleans. Second lines produced by Social Aid and Pleasure clubs, since they are productions by the individual organizations, must provide their own security in the form of paid NOPD officer details, while Mardi Gras parade security is provided by the city directly. I understand that these fees can be onerous for Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs. I pledge to seek equitable solutions, and will welcome culture bearers, Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs, and the Social Aid and Pleasure Club Task Force to provide input and proposals to modify current processes for permitting and security.     https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507090663083-20L5J8HEI5ELKYFZ9Z2S/Question+7.png DISTRICT B Banks: I will listen to the concerns of these businesses and work to insure that we do not inhibit the ability of those who work and perform to make a living.   Bloom: I will seek to ensure that proposed policies that affect cultural contributors, venue owners, and other stakeholders are debated in a public forum, to ensure that those who would be affected have a chance to give insight and input. I will also do my part to ensure that existing laws are not disproportionately applied and levied against any single group or establishment, but instead are implemented fairly. I also think it is important that local businesses do not have to worry about their buildings or the streets getting to them are flooded. We must address our drainage problems so that businesses can continue to thrive.     https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507090137712-HQFPGPCJ437BLVMHONYL/Question+2.png DISTRICT B   Banks: Affordable housing must be available. First, we must untie the restrictions on the thousands of the blighted houses throughout the city and use incentives to develop those properties into affordable housing units. Second, we work to freeze residential property assessments to not penalize long term residents because new residents have driven up property values.   Bloom: Our city is unique and vibrant, and the people who live here make it that way. We need to protect our residents and ensure they have safe and comfortable places to live. As a councilmember, I will work to create discourse between the council and the departments of Community Development, Economic Development, and HANO to find comprehensive solutions to housing. I will work with developers who are applying to build new structures, to create a percentage of housing units for working class and low-income residents, in accordance with proposals from the Smart Housing Mix policy. I plan to entice developers to do this by offering positive incentives, rather than enacting restrictive legislation, wherever possible. Legislation to safeguard housing should not have the opposite effect: it should not serve to effectively de-incentivize development, but should encourage smart and responsible development to flourish by offering positive incentives that attract inclusive housing development. Having more economic opportunities available to residents will help us all succeed. I will lend my support to any effort to join together the varying interests of residents, government, developers, and community groups to create smart housing solutions. To achieve this holistic approach to housing, I will work to ensure that business and economic leaders, those in the city's departments of Community Development, Economic Development, and HANO have the opportunity to hear from community stakeholders. Again, I will work hand-in-hand with city leadership to create incentives for development to provide residents with access to needed resources like transit, services like pharmacies and groceries, and recreational opportunities. I will place pressure on city governmental departments to work together to create comprehensive plans and requests for proposals that will address the needs of working people in our city.     https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507090047867-V9WAA4BJ0FP3OLLIC40S/Question+1.png DISTRICT B Banks: The term culture bearer applies to those who know, understand and practice the cultural values and traditions of a group or society. Culture bearers can be musicians, artists, dancers, writers, etc. and should be actively transmitting or disseminating the cultural practices.   Bloom: The term culture bearers encompasses so much in our city. Musicians, street performers, artists, Social Aid & Pleasure Clubs, and masking organizations like Mardi Gras Indians all contribute to our city’s culture. Any person or group that advances our city’s heritage and unique traditions fit that definition.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507090916475-WUWBMWFXIC1JYYEPQ1AO/Question+10.png DISTRICT B   Banks: All of the stakeholders including tourism, business, government, labor and education must come together to create realistic opportunities for our youth so that crime is an option they never consider. We can enhance programs at NORD such as theater, music lessons and dance to provide programs that will make our youth aware of their culture. Such programs can also employ our culture bearers and allow them to pass on the culture and traditions.   Bloom: As a two term Orleans Parish School Board Member, I recognize the important role education of every kind can play in crime reduction and overall increase in quality of life. I will seek to promote education and youth empowerment throughout my work as councilman, including advocating for youth cultural programming and seeking to expand funding, publicity, and partnerships for NORDC programs to include music, arts, and performance. I will advocate for the continued expansion of arts and cultural programming in our schools. Cultural activities also provide economic development and jobs. The opportunities for employment and extra income can also benefit our youth and encourage continued development of our cultural heritage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507090983592-GNGOEMG1C9K3E6FYF3N8/Question+11.png DISTRICT B Banks: The City Council has no direct involvement in education but does have the power to demand that all of the stakeholders come together to create paths that our youth can take. We must support and insure that programs for the arts are included in the school curriculums   Bloom: In addition to more formal programming for youths such as arts and music education in our schools and community programming, our culture also depends on participation in neighborhood cultural groups like Mardi Gras Indians, neighborhood musicians and bands, and Social Aid and Pleasure clubs. To support participation inneighborhood based groups, it is important to maintain their visibility and recognition as vital community cultural touchstones. I will be a champion of formal and informal cultural traditions, and will again seek input from coalitions like the Social Aid and Pleasure Club Task Force, Mardi Gras Indian Council, MACCNO, and other associations that bring together culture bearers, to seek ways to continue their work and identify ways to empower young people to participate in these traditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507091049235-2AI6C0RSZEPW1IDTABYV/Question+12.png DISTRICT B Banks: Yes   Bloom: Yes, where it is feasible to do so. https://maccno.com/district-a daily 0.75 2017-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507095537952-25ME4KS3IHFPWEME6756/Question+9.png DISTRICT A Maklansky: When I am on the Council, I will ask tourism and cultural industry leaders to come together to establish an advisory committee on culture and community to advise the City Council, very similar to the Environmental Advisory Committee I established while serving as the legislative director for Councilwoman Nadine Ramsey. Leaders from these communities should have a strong and effective dialogue with our City government to ensure that our culture and values are reflected in our governance.   Hardy: I will invite cultural communities to submit policy proposals and respond to existing policy. I believe that many previous proposals may have been disregarded or otherwise not supported due to politics of an inequitable system. Under my leadership ALL proposals and planning efforts will be transparent and inclusive.   Ring: I would love to see Cultural Economy have a committee at the City Council level. One could argue we already have a community development committee. I believe the attack on the culture of New Orleans by those that want to gentrify it is so fierce right now that we need someone in place to oversee cultural economy from these groups. My volunteer work with the Threadheads, a group of volunteers who first raised money in a not for profit record label then turned it into a 501c entity that recognizes and grants funds to a variety of culture bearers and culture restorers, has led me to believe that we cannot let our culture die in the hands of bearers who have spent their whole lives working within the traditions of New Orleans. We the council, as city leaders, need to show the importance of what culture can not only do for tourism but also what culture can do for sustaining a proud image of our city through masking, brass band and the like as well as the storied history of all of it.   Washington-Kendrick: Partnering with some of New Orleans' biggest figure would be a great civil asset to building communities. All music and art expression facets are aiming for the same goal; peace, togetherness/harmony and fun/party. Utilizing they outreach tactics would help to change narrative where they should be and creating a festive rubric on rights of the people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507095420058-JDDGBDTUTH4GJGLN16T4/Question+7.png DISTRICT A Maklansky: I have a record of making sure that our local business, particularly our music venues and cultural attractions, are protected. In consultation with the community, I will do whatever it takes to help our cultural community thrive, both now and for future generations.   Hardy: I believe that investments in our historic neighborhood bars, new music venues, and small cultural businesses will yield great returns in neighborhood jobs created, and overall economic impact from new commerce in our tourism economy. I will make sure the increase in the DBE loan pool and all other money available to local businesses has a greater positive impact on small business.   Ring: I will work to make all processes transparent and easy to work through the system. Currently permits are not as easy to get as they should be. Violations are taxing small businesses and clubs. I will work to work on the 311 system also to allow all of these entities to do things electronically if at all possible without having to venture to City Hall.   Washington-Kendrick: I think the most important way to support these entities is through top notch public safety. If we cannot be safe we cannot be anything. Also I would make sure their voices are always heard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507095143762-95718JWA9M7D2WS950CW/Question+2.png DISTRICT A Maklansky: Property values and housing costs are linked to many issues, including market trends, housing supply, and the prevailing wage in the area. I will ensure that State and Federal housing programs are maximized and that leverage our resources to incentivize the supply of affordable housing. When new units are constructed, I will pursue long-term commitments for affordability. The Council can impact affordable housing through zoning by incentivizing the building of multi-family and multi-income housing where appropriate, built with quality construction and design, as well as through supporting home ownership programs. Additionally, it is imperative that the Short-Term Rental ordinance is enforced to ensure that the character of our communities is protected.   Hardy: I support inclusionary zoning through the expansion of the Smart Housing Mix Ordinance. I believe that every neighborhood in our city should share the responsibility of providing affordable housing to our most vulnerable residents. Considering that we have a 30,000 unit affordable housing shortage and 40,000+ blighted units of property, I will ensure that all blighted property is sold or otherwise assigned to individuals and agencies who have the capacity to transform them into affordable homes and businesses. I have proposed that we grow our $1.5MIL loan pool for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) to $150MIL, with a priority on Tourism, Trade, and Technology, all of which affect the music industry. I have also proposed that the $200MIL+ surplus held by the Morial Convention Center be used to provide housing to low income service industry workers, musicians, and others who support our conventions and tourism industry.   Ring: One of my first acts will be to work on a plan to abolish the current short term rental law and work to a more equitable law which at least minimizes, and at best eliminates, whole house rentals. The current law motivates gentrification, cultural displacement and exorbitant rents and mortgages for those houses that are in the path of the STR deluge. By motivating property owners and builders to work with the city to create an affordable housing plan for all of New Orleans we can create a culture of affordable homeownership and rentals for those New Orleanians being forced out of neighborhoods where generations of their family lived worked and played.   Washington-Kendrick: Incentivize, Incentivize, Incentivize for new developers, old developers and landlords alike. For the new developers making sure they set aside a percentage of their housing units, for affordable housing for low income renters. Ensure those renters who have been in those neighborhoods where gentrification is growing, that landlords will receive the necessary support to enable them to keep those tenants in those houses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507095587166-7M9BV6PWJ88P71M58S15/Question+10.png DISTRICT A Maklansky: Cultural activities geared toward young audiences are great examples of initiatives that help keep kids engaged in productive and meaningful ways in the community. I will fully support community organizations such as Young Audiences, the Arts Council and Roots for Music. Furthermore, I support the creation of a Department of Youth Services and Families to coordinate the public and private services for our young people and families. This entity will work with the State-created Children and Community Planning Board to make sure we have coordinated, wrap-around services for youth from birth to adulthood, which can also serve as a partner for our youth cultural organizations.   Hardy: I believe every citizen should be able to walk to a cultural center where intergenerational, intercultural activity is provided on a weekly basis. I will seek funding to create an asset map of existing organizations, buildings, and funding that support cultural activity, and I will lead the effort to grow the resources available to our most vulnerable endangered cultures.   Ring: I believe in community schools. I am not a fan of the charter schools. I believe that we need to go back to community based school system and take corporations out of schools. By doing that we can do the one thing we can advocate for is a cultural awareness class. Cultural awareness class can teach the traditions and historical references to the students. Using Art, Music, Civics, Sports we can teach our students of the cultural importance of parading, playing music or making art. While many schools are removing it, we can champion it. To take a line from my friend, Shamarr Allen, we can have the students proudly proclaim “Music is my weapon”.   Washington-Kendrick: I would make sure that the organizations and non profits that engage in and teach cultural awareness through music and arts become meccas for our youth. I would make sure kids are engaged in these programs, especially those that are either in the system or on the radar for making bad decisions in the community or in school. These programs would act as corridors for the youth to be culturally aware, lifelong learners, productive citizens and it will create for them a positive and enriched quality of life because research has shown that: Musical training helps develop language and reasoning: Students who have early musical training will develop the areas of the brain related to language and reasoning. The left side of the brain is better developed with music, and songs can help imprint information on young minds. Students have sense of achievement: Learning to play pieces of music on a new instrument can be a challenging, but achievable goal. Students who master even the smallest goal in music will be able to feel proud of their achievement. Student gain success in society: Music is the fabric of our society, and music can shape abilities and character. Students in band or orchestra are less likely to abuse substances over their lifetime. Musical education can greatly contribute to children’s intellectual development as well. Students are emotionally developed: Students of music can be more emotionally developed, with empathy towards other cultures They also tend to have higher self esteem and are better at coping with anxiety.   Students have better ACT/SAT scores: Students who have experience with music performance or appreciation score higher on the SAT. One report indicates 63 points higher on verbal and 44 points higher on math for students in music appreciation courses. Music builds imagination and intellectual curiosity: Introducing music in the early childhood years can help foster a positive attitude toward learning and curiosity. Artistic education develops the whole brain and develops a child’s imagination. Musical instruments can teach discipline: Kids who learn to play an instrument can learn a valuable lesson in discipline. They will have to set time aside to practice and rise to the challenge of learning with discipline to master playing their instrument. Preparation for the creative economy: Investing in creative education can prepare students for the 21st century workforce. The new economy has created more artistic careers, and these jobs may grow faster than others in the future. Students become responsible risk-takers: Performing a musical piece can bring fear and anxiety. Doing so teaches kids how to take risks and deal with fear, which will help them become successful and reach their potential. Students have better self-confidence: With encouragement from teachers and parents, students playing a musical instrument can build pride and confidence. Musical education is also likely to develop better communication for students. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507095702073-BH64V9ZNG298QE81DG7Q/Question+12.png DISTRICT A Maklansky: Yes   Hardy: Yes   Ring: Yes I do. I would go as far as offering in any area that a club does not have viable access to load and unload. Frenchmen and Bourbon are big areas but parts of Oak and Freret maybe can use it as well.   Washington-Kendrick: Yes, some of our musicians are older and they equipment can be a bit heavy. We want to show the character that we care, that development had our culture in mind... without them we have no New Orleans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507095375863-3O42WHI478SXKZA98DVK/Question+6.png DISTRICT A Maklansky: We must do whatever we can to ensure the security of our City, including the French quarter and high traffic areas. I am not in support of closing venues early or any measure that would disrupt the civil liberties of our tourists, residents, or performers or disrupt our culture. Increased police presence, live monitoring, and community policing that is educated on our cultural laws (like through MACCNOs street performance guide) are all measures I support in order to reduce the opportunities to commit crime. Providing safe venues, loading areas and pathways is critical to this plan.   Hardy: I support some aspects of the plan but not others. I would keep the LED lighting and ask for fiber-optics and wifi as the technology will pay for itself. I would not have paid for the barricades and do not support the curfew.   Ring: I support a portion of it. As an advocate of community policing, I believe at least a part of that 40 million dollars can be better spent in other areas of the budget. The main component that I would keep is the crime cameras. I believe this is a technological benefit that can help police in researching a crime. The piece I would not keep is the closure of doors on Bourbon Street at 3AM. I don’t see any point in it. I do not think it will mitigate crime. I do think it will force additional enforcement that will take away from the overall security of the French Quarter.   Washington-Kendrick: No, I do not support the $40 million dollar Security plan in its entirety. While I would keep the surveillance cameras for major hot spots in the city and the 300 police cars. I would not "pedestrianize" the 200 to the 800 block of the French Quarters. I feel like we should give attention to other pressing needs in other neighborhoods of the city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507095331922-JPDBQXQR83353H6RI38H/Question+5.png DISTRICT A Maklansky: As you know the fee structures were recently changed by the Council. I believe we need to revisit the fee structure and make sure the framework is equitable and fair.   Hardy: I believe that a portion of the traffic camera fees, money acquired from many of our cultural Foundations, and a portion of the Convention Center Surplus should underwrite the historic cultural events in our City.   Ring: I will call for a review of the fee structure. While some parades do not need as much security as SAPC second lines, the fees and the administration of the fees are not equally reported by the city. It also seems that the City is taking on a lot of cost in the name of Mardi Gras. While we can all agree it is a city promoted event, we can also make the argument that so too should second lines be promoted. This mitigates the argument of free police for Mardi Gras krewes.   Washington-Kendrick: The first line of equity would be a specific monetary scale that breaks down what the fees are for and why they are there. The Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs fees would be equal to or less than Parade fees because second lines have a time limit to be off the streets of New Orleans while Mardi Gras parades have no time limit. Equity must start with Good Government and we see that this is not by any means Good Government. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507095072569-BNONNSJ14HJCRD67TMZU/Question+1.png DISTRICT A Maklansky: A cultural bearer is an individual or group that practices arts and traditions that express a community's traditional values, aesthetics, and needs through this work. Community driven criteria should apply.   Hardy: Wikipedia defines culture bearer as “any individual, especially a migrant, who carries, and thus diffuses, cultural values and traits between societies”. It further states, “The role of culture bearers is particularly important within those cultures undergoing transition or experiencing threat from outside the culture”. I believe that most humans are culture bearers, but rarely identify as such—perhaps because many people in society do not understand the role they play in preserving, changing, and creating culture. The people who do understand the role(s) they play, seem to develop more intentionality behind their actions—such as Colin Kaepernick, Barack Obama, and John McCain. There is also cultural appropriation, which is lead by culture bearers who have created and maintained a culture of misappropriating others’ cultural identity and intellectual property.   Ring: I define the term culture bearer as someone, mainly indigenous but not strictly, that carries the culture of a region or a group from generation to generation. The criteria I use to determine to whom the term applies is one that a person or group who keeps a tradition alive. For instance groups such as Mardi Gras Indians, Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs are clear cut examples. Indigenous to New Orleans, carrying the tradition of parading that is passed through generations or creating social mores of how a group interacts within the community. Some however are not as clear cut I believe. Groups like the New Orleans Musicians Clinic or Sweet Home New Orleans, while not directly involved in the act of parading or passing on the traditions of the benevolent work done by the SAPCs, assist in the continuity of the particular groups. So that to can be, in my opinion, bearing the culture.   Washington-Kendrick: "Culture bearer,” to me, implies a person who has intentionally encompassed culture and is transmitting and transferring it to others. How invested is the individual in our culture, what role they play in the culture, how are they educating others and to what degree are they doing it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507095275287-EUXN4F078J8I113AI28S/Question+4.png DISTRICT A Maklansky: It is not acceptable for our culture bearers to be struggling when they are the driving force for tourism. When I am on the Council, I will ask tourism and cultural industry leaders to come together to propose a plan to give more support to the musicians, artists and culture bearers. I will propose to establish an advisory committee on culture and community to advise the City Council, very similar to the Environmental Advisory Committee I helped established while serving as the lead legislative staffer for Councilwoman Nadine Ramsey. While working on behalf of District C, I developed an excellent working relationship with MACCNO, with a consistent record of fighting for the needs of our artists, musicians, and craftsman, and I will continue to do so as the District A Councilperson.   Hardy: Many artists, promoters, and cultural centers rely on other individuals and organizations to underwrite capital developments, events and ad campaigns. This means many of them will have less control over branding and profits. I believe that the DBE Loan pool and the Convention Center surplus are great resources to tap for underwriting artists and promoters directly. I believe that cooperatives and unions should also have access to these funds.   Ring: The first place to look is at the Morial Convention Center. The windfall that is garnered while attendance continues to drop and improvements to the MCC are not done as planned is staggering. By taking even a small amount of this surplus, we could work to improve infrastructure, develop more affordable housing, obtain more buses to improve route frequency. All of these things lend themselves to assisting our culture bearers and cultural images that motivate people to flock to New Orleans.   Washington-Kendrick: It would take the art council and musicians union to get more involved in mandating their mission. These organizations are in place for servicing and protecting the culture bears, which they should fight for obtaining funds to have musicians to sign up to perform. Granted, musicians go out on their own to the French Quarters/Market and perform, but if the IRS would sanction the musicians with an estimated amount on "Tips" accumulated. What may need to happen is a little training and dialogue with the two parties to set culture bears and art council to find policies and more protect for the artist intellectual property for the right dividends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507095657011-DGJAO7UZO4EAHNNDVIPX/Question+11.png DISTRICT A Maklansky: I highly encourage organizations such as Roots for Music to engage with the community both inside and outside of school. Furthermore, I hope to see increased funding for the arts and cultural studies in our school systems. Our culture is at the core of what makes us all New Orleanians.   Hardy: I will lead the effort to regain our neighborhood schools and make them available to the surrounding communities for after school and weekend activities. Also, our senior centers should become more intergenerational as our elders live healthier longer lives when they are surrounded by positive youth and our youth live more prosperous lives when they are mentored by elders.   Ring: Much what I said above is what we can do to pass that cultural importance along. In addition, by working in a community based school system we can teach to the subject and not be handcuffed by testing. We can require the student take one of a number of classes (art, music, music history, various classes on cultural aspects) to show the educational importance of the culture of New Orleans.   Washington-Kendrick: We can invest in the culture by developing resources and more facilities that would impact our youth. Some of New Orleans' brass band leaders started an organization called "Roots of Music" that's dedication to the mission to teach young minds the culture of being a musician in New Orleans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507095212229-U0EWLX6F2SGXZ2T4H98N/Question+3.png DISTRICT A Maklansky: I will advocate for someone with transportation expertise to be appointed to City Planning Commission. On the Council, I will push for a more collaborative approach on a regional level, so that we can work with State and Federal officials to maximize the opportunities for expanding transportation infrastructure throughout the City. I believe we need to look at all innovative options for infrastructure and partner with the ride sharing economy and other new technologies to increase accessibility for all of our communities, particularly those who are underserved. Above all, I will seek to achieve the goals of New Orleans’ Master Plan to have livable, walkable communities.   Hardy: New Orleans needs to make sure that travel times on public transportation are reduced to the lowest in the country, and indeed the world. I will support a feasibility study and action plan for securing necessary resources to reach those goals. We also need to make sure that our App streams bus and streetcar locations in real time.   Ring: I will work with transit advocacy groups such as Ride Nola to work with the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority(NORTA) and its executive director to continue to develop more bus lines from the outer reaches of the city to the core. I will also work on making sure the Transdev is not renewed as the contract holder for the next contract. Bringing the transit situation under the purview of a city-run entity at the local level, beholden to the citizens of New Orleans not shareholders, will bring more oversight and positive results than currently being seen. I will also work with these groups to work with major employers such as Ochsner, the hotel and service industry and large corporations such as Entergy to offer reduced fare options to their employees. By sharing the cost of transportation, these groups will become stakeholders in the transportation piece of getting people to the job.   Washington-Kendrick: Conduct a feasibility assessment working along with RIDE and RTA to make sure those citizens are able to get to their destinations in a timely manner. Also making sure there are adequate buses on each line and citizen are aware of the bus schedules. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507095474111-B9WEP6Y3VW7MIKX2H4QG/Question+8.png DISTRICT A Maklansky: It is my understanding that the constitutionality of this curfew has been decided by a court of law which takes precedence.   Hardy: Yes   Ring: Yes I do. It has been proven unconstitutional numerous times at various levels. The ban attacks the very heart of the New Orleans music culture that tourists come here to see. In addition there are a variety of other much more annoying noises that one has to deal with at 8PM that are not being banned. This is an attack at street musicians, mostly black and young, that gentrifies the culture of the city.   Washington-Kendrick: Yes, I support the permanent removal of the 8p.m. street musician curfew. https://maccno.com/district-d daily 0.75 2017-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507084464340-GB2EE77VT3AZY7J6VAS9/Question+4.png DISTRICT D Jackson: I work in tourism and hospitality industry. It is disconcerting to me that the very good paying live performance booking for events in town for tradeshows and conferences typically do not hire the relevant musicians and artists who perform in our clubs and on our streets. Instead, there is a roster of ‘event’ artists,, second line groups, etc, who don’t get a whiff at our venerable music venues like the Maple Leaf, DBA and Tipitina’s. I’d advocate to create a coalition of artists, performers, and culture bearers to help them tap into the windfall that comes with this type of tourism. I can tell you that the clients who do business here want it. We just need to connect said coalition with the tourism industry leaders. I know how to do it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507084397631-10W397NIT4UD4Z9FGV6Y/Question+3.png DISTRICT D Jackson: I take the 91 bus back and forth from my 7th ward neighborhood to my place of work in the Warehouse District. The ‘trains’ run on time every single day. And it makes my work life so much more practical, easy, and affordable. I’d take a look at the data of how many of our service/ tourism workers live in the East, and present that data to RTA and the Council while advocating for better transit that is in lock-step with what’s working perfectly in the Mid-City to Treme to French Quarter route. Regarding cultural practitioners, I asked local culture writer Jay Maaza what had most changed on the Second Line in his 30-odd years attending them. His answer: The Cars- because so many folks don’t live in those neighborhoods any longer. Too many of our cultural practitioners have been displaced to the East (for another topic re: affordable housing), and we must make it easier for those displaced to get into the Greater New Orleans area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507084814346-V3B9B329LTAKRXJ55PLR/Question+11.png DISTRICT D Jackson: I co-host a podcast about New Orleans culture, and many of our guests have waxed on and on about their music teachers from Grade School to High School, and the experience of being in the Marching Band. The discipline and self-respect that is taught and learned are invaluable, in all aspects of life. I will support every school and cultural entity that passes on our community’s rich and relevant traditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507084322769-VKYH3RRF5A4PPX5AKQDT/Question+2.png DISTRICT D Jackson: There is a social/ political movement in America re: Neighborhood Stabilization, which is primarily about blighted buildings and domiciles. I want to advocate for Community Stabilization, which is primarily about people. In short, the city of New Orleans should not profit from its citizens being displaced. I want to expand the Homestead Exemption, regulate and tax short-term rentals, and more closely regulate developers towards being a partner in our city and community that allows our citizens to live in the houses and neighborhoods that their Great-Great-Grandparents lived in. In Gentilly specifically, we are a designated ‘Resilience District’ which comes with designated funding for development, which we need to ensure also includes affordable housing and Community Stabilization. There is a reason that so many developers and contractors are spending significant money to donate to campaigns in this political season: because of the coming development windfall in my District. We must not be beholden to those developer’s interests. We need competency, transparency and accountability. Not favors owed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507084697225-TGZB0FMI93PYN6XKWUWI/Question+8.png DISTRICT D Jackson: Yes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507084769924-K0A0PLB7H9H55IE6JPO3/Question+10.png DISTRICT D Jackson: From my first hand experience, I feel like cultural activity is in a heyday for our youth. At the Second Lines on Sunday, I am particularly emboldened by the sight of teenagers wearing hip metal tee-shirts and skinny jeans reveling in a tradition that their Grandparents still take part in. One specific thing I would do to further advance cultural activities for our young people is to approach our music clubs, and incentivize them, to book events during the afternoon/ early evenings on Saturdays and Sundays geared towards young people, as well as allowing young ‘promoters’ to curate those type of shows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507084867565-R7Z6466CLX57Q81VKO47/Question+12.png DISTRICT D Jackson: Yes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507083222962-8LF62OUME4DQH9ZPBF3J/Question+1.png DISTRICT D Jackson: In this context (read: political influence and potential legislation regarding advocacy for culture in our communities), I’d warn against defining Culture Bearer too narrowly. That said, to me a Culture Bearer in New Orleans embodies our cultural traditions, protects those traditions, and helps transition those traditions in an ever-changing community moving forward in time and space. I think of four generations at an SAPC Second Line on Sunday. Mardi Gras Indians. For example, a culture bearer like Donald Harrison bringing Christian Scott into folds of New Orleans culture, and Christian then becoming a culture bearer in his own right while also progressively advancing the art, music and culture of New Orleans to new generations, and to those who don’t live in New Orleans, or to those whom have recently transitioned to New Orleans. A culture bearer keeps close in mind history, the present moment, and the future. It is about preservation, sustainability, and evolution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507084519932-N5YFIAMOXSWUDAFCLEVU/Question+5.png DISTRICT D Jackson: Start with pointing out, with supporting data, the elephant in the room that is racial and socioeconomic inequity in New Orleans. An increase in fees for Mardi Gras parades should subsidize the SAPC Second Lines. Let’s approach it from a positive perspective and give our Mardi Gras Krewes the ‘opportunity’ to support New Orleans street culture throughout the year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507084565669-06MYRATF9PEPPLUKUWVH/Question+6.png DISTRICT D Jackson: No. And I would start from scratch with a new master plan for Public Safety that begins with Criminal Justice Reform. Frankly, so many parts of the current plan are egregiously erroneous at first glance that I haven’t read thru the entire plan. I just want to refuse a plan that violates constitutional rights, and not try to cherry pick anything redeemable within such a plan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507084637148-NUWLP3VNYLVSBHT8FWZ1/Question+7.png DISTRICT D Jackson: I support the official recognition of culture as a key aspect of preservation, and not just buildings, but our cultural bearers and artists. To that end, I support and applaud the successful efforts of MaCCNO’s impact on the city’s Master Plan regarding policy on zoning in New Orleans. Any historical venue that has supported music and New Orleans culture should be able to file for a permit against existing zoning overlays. This is kind of an easy answer to your question: I will support MaCCNO and lobby to ensure that MaCCNO will have a seat at the table regarding planning, cultural preservation and sustainability. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5839e0cf8419c204f71e961c/1507084727579-K1602342SX5S18RCT2JA/Question+9.png DISTRICT D Jackson: As my good friend Geoff Douville often says, we need to support the advent and sustainability of cultural ‘incubators’ in our historic neighborhoods, so that the music and culture of the future has a place to divide cells and grow towards that next new thing that comes from our Crescent City. See Tank & the Bangas. Jazz was born in New Orleans- we shouldn’t stop there. https://maccno.com/store daily 0.75 2022-03-29
