Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• New Orleans city employees push back on proposed cuts to benefits: 'Catastrophic to morale' (nola.com) — New Orleans city employees are loudly opposing Mayor Helena Moreno's administration over proposed cuts to bonus sick and vacation days, warning it would devastate morale and make hiring even harder. City officials say leave policies strain the budget and need reform, but any changes still require approval from the Civil Service Commission and City Council, so revisions are likely.
• NOPD searches for missing New Orleans woman (fox8live.com) — New Orleans police are asking residents to help find Lamenda Ancar, a local woman with a memory-related medical condition who disappeared Wednesday morning from her home on Pinebrook Drive. She has no phone or way to communicate, and officers say she may become disoriented, urging anyone who sees her or knows her whereabouts to call 504-658-6070 immediately.
• New Orleans bar, restaurant workers hope for football season recovery after summer slump (wdsu.com) — New Orleans bar and restaurant workers are banking on football season to revive business after a slow, sweltering summer that cut sales by up to thousands of dollars a day. From the Warehouse District to the French Quarter, owners are adding outdoor TVs, cooling upgrades, and game-day specials while shifting focus from tourists to loyal locals to survive rising rents and recent restaurant closures.
