[edit] Take-home cars, open meetings law likely to create fresh disputes at City Council meeting today

"Although New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and the City Council signed a "memorandum of understanding" Wednesday calling a truce in their battle over French Quarter sanitation, conflict between the two branches of city government has by no means ended.

In fact, it could break out on three different fronts during today's council meeting.

Councilman Arnie Fielkow has promised a hearing on his long-delayed ordinance to require committees that recommend firms for city contracts to meet in public. The administration opposes the proposal."
