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.

The more City Council President Jackie Clarkson spoke at a town hall meeting Tuesday night in eastern New Orleans, the more upset people became. Clarkson wasn't a scheduled speaker at the meeting, which was part of a series Mayor Mitch Landrieu is hosting to gather input on the 2012 city budget. The well-attended annual meetings are a magnet for politicians and other public officials. Landrieu brings his entire administration, but he is the only official who typically speaks, save for a few introductory and ceremonial comments by others.
From staff reports Melissa Waldie's goal with 3 minutes, 25 seconds left in overtime lifted the Clarkson women's hockey team to a 2-1 win over Yale Friday in ECAC play at Potsdam, N.Y.

The odds-on-favorite to win a runoff position in the competitive New Orleans City Council-at-large race is former legislator and council member Jackie Clarkson, a Democrat. Clarkson has won a bevy of endorsements, including the Alliance for Good Government, the Orleans Parish Republican Party and the Regular Democratic Organization among others. This support, along with a base of 47,000 people who voted for her last year in the at- large race, will help Clarkson win a runoff position.
Councilwoman Jackie Clarkson summed up the pickle that is the World Trade Center building, which the city leases to the WTC organization, with a simple observation. Neither of us can afford it," said Clarkson, who is on the board of the New Orleans Building Corp., the agency that oversees city- owned buildings.
My line of work involves interviewing elected officials and politicians, and most of these conversations take place during normal working hours. But just in the past year I've been called on my personal phone after hours by Bobby Jindal, David Vitter, Leon Cannizzaro and Jackie Clarkson, and I couldn't get a word in edgewise. These "robocalls" are the target of a bill state Rep. Cameron Henry is backing to amend the Telephone Solicitation Relief Act of 2001, which create Louisiana's "Do Not Call" list. If Henry's measure is approved, candidates and politicians who use robocalls will have to check the list and remove any numbers from the calls they make.
New Orleans Councilwoman at-large Jackie Clarkson is considering the mayor's race in 2010 and has been conducting a poll to gauge her standing among the city's voters. In 2006, Clarkson lost her first attempt at an at-large seat to Arnie Fielkow in a runoff. The next year, a special election was called to replace Oliver Thomas, who admitted to taking a bribe from a city vendor. Clarkson enjoyed political redemption when she defeated fellow councilmember Cynthia Willard-Lewis with 53 percent of the vote.
