No glad- handing.

Two recent polls on neworleanscitybusiness.com show a rather interesting environment in New Orleans as Mayor Mitch Landrieu reaches his first six months in office.

Mike Miller, director of supportive housing placement for Unity of Greater New Orleans, found Robertson, 62, living under the Claiborne Avenue overpass in April. He figured the easiest way to get the disabled military veteran help was to contact the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' homeless program.
