Kenner Feud Continues

The Times-Picayune reports on a new development in the feud between the Kenner City Council and Police Chief Nick Congeni. Kenner Mayor Phil Capitano has proposed an ordinance that will essentially require the Kenner Police Department to finance itself with traffic tickets. Apparently, Chief Congeni has ordered his force to only write tickets that can be heard in state court since he shut the city jail earlier this year. The order is costing the city up to $200,000 in lost revenue each month and may result in some layoffs at Kenner City Court.
