Today's riddle: What is clean when it is black and dirty when it is white? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Attorney General says group of Kenner City Councilmembers violated open meetings law with letter (fox8live.com) — Kenner residents are at the center of a brewing legal dispute after the Louisiana Attorney General's office said a majority of Kenner City Council members likely violated the state's open meetings law by coordinating a letter about the city's seat on the New Orleans Aviation Board. City leaders are now reviewing the opinion, which could affect how Kenner's representative was chosen and how future council business must be conducted in public.
• New Orleans man named Santa Claus sentenced for sexting minor on Grindr, arranging meet-up (nola.com) — Kenner police played a central role in catching a 75-year-old New Orleans man who admitted sending explicit messages to an undercover officer posing as a 15-year-old and arranging a meeting at the Kenner lakefront. The man, legally named Santa Claus, has now been sentenced to five years in prison and barred from internet use, underscoring ongoing online risks to local teens.
• Flock cameras help police solve crimes, raise privacy concerns (fox8live.com) — Kenner's police chief is highlighting how Flock license plate cameras helped solve a local murder while inviting residents with privacy concerns to contact his department directly. The story explains how the 24/7 system works, the safeguards Kenner uses, and the national debate over data collection, giving you context to weigh safety benefits against civil-liberties questions.
