Federal civil rights lawsuit against Mayor Cantrell allowed to proceed
SUMMARY: Mayor LaToya Cantrell is facing a federal investigation, with a contractor recently indicted for allegedly bribing her. A separate federal civil rights lawsuit filed by French Quarter resident Anne Brook against Cantrell is allowed to proceed, despite the mayor’s attempts to halt it. The lawsuit stems from the mayor’s use of confidential information about Brook in a dismissed protective order. Cantrell, referred to as “Public Official One” in the indictment against the contractor, has not been charged with crimes. However, legal expert Michelle Foster suggests the situation could worsen for her, with potential for discovery and deposition.
With civil rights lawsuit getting the green light, Cantrell could be subject to discovery and depositions by Breaud’s attorney.

Flu season off to slow start but vaccine still important
SUMMARY: The flu season in Louisiana is starting slowly, but health experts stress the importance of getting the flu shot. Caitlyn Taylor, a family nurse practitioner, explains that the vaccine helps the body produce antibodies to fight off the flu and reduces the risk of severe disease and hospitalizations. The holiday season may increase flu cases as people gather, making vaccination even more crucial. Simple preventive measures include good hand hygiene, covering coughs, and promptly getting tested if symptoms arise. Taylor emphasizes that especially individuals with underlying health issues should prioritize getting vaccinated to minimize health risks.
