New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell had to reimburse the city $29,000 for
first class flight upgrades and is now accused of violating ethics laws.

LaToya Cantrell, 51, was charged by the Louisiana Board of Ethics for
receiving almost $29,000 worth of upgrades for 15 flights over a two year
time frame.

The charges fell under a state law that prohibits public officials from
receiving anything of value for their public duties.
Cantrell finally reimbursed the city $28,856 for the 13 domestic flights
and two international trips to Europe that she upgraded in October of last
year.

The 51-year-old politician claimed her upgrades were not for luxury but
for her health and safety - citing the threat of COVID and 'the world
black women walk in'.

'Anyone who wants to question how I protect myself just doesn’t understand
the world black women walk in,' Mayor Cantrell previously said in a
statement.

Cantrell said she stands by her claims 'all day long' - despite ultimately
reimbursing the $29,000.

'As all women know, our health and safety are often disregarded and we are
left to navigate alone,' Cantrell said.

'As the mother of a young child whom I live for, I am going to protect
myself by any reasonable means in order to ensure I am there to see her
grow into the strong woman I am raising her to be.'

But councilmembers didn't buy these excuses and had threatened to dock her
pay in the 2023 budget to recover the funds.

Her flight upgrade for a trip to Nice, France - where she attended a jazz
festival and a French National Day celebration - cost a whopping $12,988
on top of the base fare of $4,666, according to court documents.

Cantrell spent $2,352 of state money on a first-class upgrade for her
domestic flight from New Orleans to San Francisco - a five hour journey.

The under-fire mayor was already in hot water after admitting to living in
a city-owned apartment in the city's French Quarter rent-free, that lies
only three miles from her $500,000 Broadmoor home.

The reimbursement - which was paid by the democrat mayor about a year ago
- came after weeks of controversy and the case will likely go before the
Ethics Adjudicatory Board.

Cantrell could face a $10,000 fine for using state money for her luxurious
travel arrangements.

Public officials are required to seek the cheapest possible travel options
- and pay the difference out of their personal finances if they opt for
more expensive choices.

'We believe both the mayor and the administration have appropriately
addressed the travel issue and will respond to the ethics complaint in due
course,' Cantrell’s spokesperson John Lawson said Thursday.
