Moreno steps into leadership role Mayor-elect’s bond proposal moves forward amid cash crisis BY BLAKE PATERSON and JAMES FINN Staff writers
New Orleans Mayor-elect Helena Moreno
Helena Moreno is two months from being sworn in as New Orleans’ next mayor. But with the city facing a double-barreled financial crisis, she has already be-
come its de facto leader. The mayor-elect led New Orleans’ negotiations with state officials last week to sell $125 million in short-term bonds aimed at solving the city’s cash flow crisis, an idea that before those negotiations appeared dead in the water. In recent weeks, she has pro-

People who were in Concourse B at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport between 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Sunday may have been exposed.
