Major Gaffe at Mayoral Debate

In the first major gaffe in the New Orleans Mayors race, each of the status quo candidates - (in order) Troy Henry, John Georges, Leslie Jacobs and Sen. Ed Murray - swung and missed in response to an important direct question on the Youth Study Center. James Perry sets them straight.

James Perry's got my respect, between this and actually being proud enough of his achievement to mention he earned the rank of Eagle Scout I'm ready to listen to him.

Wow, on that note, they should all pull out of the race now, clearly these career minded politicians are not interested enough in the future of their city to do the pre debate research and "get it right". Obviously James Perry gets it! Kudos brother...

Dang. I guess clarifying what the Youth Studies Center is was out of the question. LOL

Funny how he forgot Rob Couhig's reponse.

Murray should be especially ashamed -- it's in his district, and he's been state legislator for years! Help us kick these buffoons off the island. Perry could really change things around here.

Absolutely brilliant! An epic debate moment! What a city New Orleans can be again once it has an educated, thinking person in City Hall!
