Embattled New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell says she will now reimburse the city for expenses related to flight upgrades she made during her recent travels.
“I will have to reimburse the city for those business expenses,” Cantrell tells CNN affiliate
in a statement “It’s important that everyone plays by the same rules and that reimbursements are made to the City when required.” New Orleans Chief Administrative Officer Gilbert Montaño told CNN affiliate WVUE the mayor’s first-class airfares cost the city nearly $30,000. CNN has reached out to Montaño and City Council President Moreno for comment. Cantrell initially rebuffed calls for her to reimburse the city claiming the upgrades were necessary as a matter of safety not luxury.
