Episode Details

New Orleans Mayor Moreno’s team claims they’ve fixed over 15,000 potholes since taking office—but the real story? They’re falling way short of their ambitious goal of 1,500 potholes per week. After 15 weeks, they’re averaging just 675 per week—less than half their target. The mayor admits the challenge, noting residents want smooth streets, not just patches. To catch up, they’ve hired 20 new Public Works staff and are buying more equipment, hoping to hit the goal by year’s end—if weather and staffing hold. Meanwhile, sidewalk repairs are showing progress, with football-field lengths paved weekly, but drivers and residents still feel the bumps.
