Photo credit: Cheryl Gerber (8/27/08 Gambit Weekly)City Council President Arnie Fielkow is "At Large" on the cover of the February 2008 issue of New Orleans Magazine.
Despite saying in January that "Those in leadership should be objectively measured by whether a sizable reduction occurs in our murder rate and other violent crimes", Fielkow declined to "set goals" for the NOPD in his interview with New Orleans Magazine. He also expressed support for Nagin's desire to put up 200 security cameras throughout the city.
I suspect Arnie is gearing up to run a smiling campaign for mayor in 2010. A rival candidate could criticize and exploit Arnie's squishiness on holding city leaders accountable for the violent crime rate, while simultaneously denouncing the intrusive and annoying security/traffic cameras that Fielkow supports.
"We need to fight crime through community policing, not big brother surveillance"... could be the line, or something like that.
Groovy.
Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats,
Linin' em up like ass cracks,
Ladies ponies at the track
it's my chocolate attack.
Shit, I'm stepping in heart of this here
Carebear bumpin' in the heart of this here
Watch me as I gravitate
hahahahahaa.
...
Dont stop, get it, get it,
We are your captains in it. Steady,
Watch me navigate,
Ahahahahahhaa
