• New Orleans City Council VP Jackie Clarkson opposes voter approval for master plan

City Council vice president Jackie Clarkson is calling on state lawmakers to kill a bill that would require a city master plan to receive voter approval. State Sen. Ed Murray, D-New Orleans, is sponsoring Senate Bill 75 which calls for a referendum after consultants complete a master plan that will set planning and zoning rules in the city. In November, New Orleans voters approved an city charter amendment Clarkson authored that gives the master plan the power of law once it is created.
