Leaders plan West End transformation
Moreno, Lee Sheng meet to announce redevelopment agreement BY LARA NICHOLSON Staff writer
After more than a decade of stalled negotiations, New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno and Jefferson Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng on Thursday announced a new agreement to redevelop an area of West End Park once known as a restaurant and entertainment hub. In a rare joint news conference between leaders of the two parishes, Moreno and Lee Sheng were joined by state Rep. Stephanie Hilferty, R-New Orleans, and other leaders to celebrate what’s known as a cooperative endeavor agreement.
“This is really an example of the progress that can take place when we can work together.” HELENA MORENO, New Orleans mayor The finalized pact, which was stalled for years over how sales taxes of any new businesses would be doled out, will allow them to pursue redevelopment proposals and split sales tax revenues for the portion of West End that’s sat idle since Hurricane Katrina. Redevelopment proposals could include a boardwalk or pier in addition to restaurants or others businesses, according to Hilferty,
who sponsored legislation to help create an economic development district for the area. Moreno, speaking near where Fitzgerald’s, Augie’s Del Lago and Jaeger’s once stood on pilings jutting out into Lake Pontchartrain, said the new redevelopment would not only attract residents from both parishes back to the area, but visitors from across the region as well. “Before Hurricane Katrina, this was really quite an amazing place where there were so many restaurants and entertainment venues, and I’m so excited that soon that is what it will return to,” Moreno

Law firm auctions off art
Nearly 75 pieces available in bankruptcy sale BY STEPHANIE RIEGEL Staff writer
Nearly 75 works of art that once adorned the offices of McGlinchey Stafford were auctioned off Thursday, as the former law firm, which dissolved early this year after half a century in business, liquidates its assets to settle more than $13 million in debts. The McGlinchey collection included dozens of oils, acrylics and watercolors from some of the best-known Southern artists of the 20th century, as well as statues, pottery and antiques, according to court records included in the firms Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing. Among the big-ticket items: an Ida Kohlmeyer oil, which sold for $55,000, and an Enrique Alferez sculpture that fetched $60,000 — more than double what bankruptcy court documents had listed as the estimated value STAFF PHOTO By BRETT DUKE of the bronze work, entitled “Woman in a

Trump uses address to push unproven claims about past elections President raising doubts about election security heading into midterms BY MICHELLE L. PRICE, ERIC TUCKER and COLLIN BINKLEY Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump used a primetime address to the nation Thursday to once again raise doubts about the results of past elections, reviving a subject he’s long used to make unproven claims and deny his loss in

the 2020 election. Trump’s fixation on his loss to Democrat Joe Biden six years ago and the long-debunked theories he’s circulated about it are things he still brings up regularly when discussing other subjects. But elevating the deeply political and conspiratorial topics to a presidential primetime address underscores the lengths to which Trump
has used his second term to both blow past norms and fixate on old grievances. Trump began Thursday night with a stark warning about what he described as flaws in the voting system and said he was releasing previously classified documents related to the 2020 and 2018
