In this conversation with Renee Lapeyrolerie, we take a deep dive into the new Deputy Mayor system and discuss her role as the Deputy Mayor of External Affairs. We break down how her role and the role of the other deputy mayors are designed to create more direct points of contact for the community with the mayor's office. This has been on full display out of the gate as Lapeyrolerie says the first 100 days are an extension of the transition. The deputy mayor system was re-establed when Helena Moreno signed her first ordinance taking office.

In this episode of B4U Scroll with JD Carrere, Louisiana Congressman Troy Carter discusses his role in Congress that allows him to have oversight over federal agencies such as ICE and Border Patrol, he says he supports the impeachment of Kristy Noem, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security and gives praise to New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno for how she handled her meeting with President Donald Trump.

I couldn't think of a better person to sit down with to introduce the concept of B4U Scroll than Councilman Freddie King. We have done a lot of work in the community together, mainly the guns for games trade in iniative.

In this pilot epsidoe, we discussed his new role as the chair of the New Orleans City Council Criminal Justice Committee, how to continue on the work of the former chair, Oliver Thomas who saw a 50% reduction of violent crime under his watch, how to prevent violent crime spilling over into cultural institutions like Dookie Chase Restaurant, how he wants the public to engage with him and the committee and his response to misinformation shared by Louisiana Governer Jeff Landry - all I packed into an easily digestible 15 minute or so show.

Thank you for listening to the introductory episode of B4U Scroll with JD Carrere. I wanted to share my heart with why I'm creating this podcast. There's no way to keep up with the misinformation machine and what they cook up on a weekly basis. This will be our running verifiable public record of the truth. I will have have in-depth conversations with Public Officials, City Stakeholders, and Community Leaders. We are starting a new conversation about the matters affecting you at home, in the workplace, and in our community.
