For the Sugar Bowl, that involves a line-item budget prepared by various committees, with final approval needed from a finance committee. It is overseen by a finance chairman who is not a voting member of the 25-member executive committee, which primarily consists of past presidents plus current officers.
Special appropriations from outside the approved budget also require executive committee approval.
And finally, all checks must be reviewed by at least two people, and must be signed by either two officers or Hoolahan and one officer.
That, former finance chairman John Busenlener said Wednesday, would make the expenditures Junker made — such as a $1,200 visit by him and two others to a Phoenix strip club, and paying for the honeymoon of Junker’s executive assistant — virtually unthinkable under Sugar Bowl guidelines.

Two New Orleans police officers were fired Friday after an investigation revealed they improperly arrested two women on a prostitution-related charge.
The women were arrested on a prostitution loitering charge, a municipal offense that allows police to arrest a loiterer who had been convicted of prostitution within the last year.
The law defines prostitution loitering as a person who repeatedly “beckons” people or hails cars by “waving arms or other body gestures.” It can also apply if an officer hears somebody solicit a customer.
Officers Beau Gast and Thomas McMasters acknowledged during disciplinary hearings that, at the time of the arrest, they did not check to see whether the women they arrested had been convicted of prostitution within the past year. Both officers said they knew about this aspect of the law, but did not follow it, according to an NOPD news release.

While Tina Oubre tended to three to four regular customers at Boom Boom’s, she admitted the new closing hours, and how they will affect her income, is on her mind. Oubre, 43, is waiting to enroll in a six-month massage therapy class. She planned to go during the day but now isn’t sure if she’ll be able to afford it.
“This was a safety net to pay bills and still be able to go to school,” she said. “Maybe I’ll lose my job. Then what will I do?”
Oubre and others who work in Fat City say the past six months have brought plenty of changes. At least five businesses have closed — including the Circle K convenience store, Illusions strip club and Uncle Larry’s lounge — and workers at the bars still open say the crowds have been much smaller.

Waters – for those not versed in the vernacular of cross-dressing, gender-bending, sexually uber-liberated politics – is the director behind a passel of films typically described as “cult classics.” Beginning in 1964 with the lusciously titled “Hag in a Black Leather Jacket,” Waters has turned out such screen gems as “Pink Flamingos,” “Hairspray” and “Pecker.” He’s also renowned for his one-man show, “This Filthy World.”
I’m supplying this extended précis because, besides being a prolific filmmaker, Waters is a prodigiously accomplished writer. Not long ago he penned an essay-driven autobiography of sorts, “Role Models,” which made him a primo candidate to appear on a March 26 festival panel looking at “The Story Behind the Stars: Celebrity Memoirists Tell All.”
Whereas most mothers (co-panelist Bryan Batt’s, for instance) welcome their sons’ literary masterworks) – “I told my mom I’m writing a new book,” Waters recalled, “and she said, ‘Maybe we’ll die first.’” He went on to explain that he’s “always inspired” by people who are dealing with difficult challenges in their lives — naming Little Richard and Lady Zorro the lesbian Stripper as prime examples.

NEW ORLEANS
–
The New Orleans Police Department terminated officers Beau Gast and Thomas McMasters on Friday after an administrative investigation by the departments Public Integrity Bureau.
NOPD said the investigation revealed that both men falsified records and knowingly arrested two women on prostitution charges without a warrant.
In disciplinary hearings in early March, Gast and McMasters admitted that they didn’t check to see if either of the women had a prior conviction of prostitution solicitation within the previous year, NOPD records said.
That check is required by law to arrest anyone on prostitution loitering charges. Both men said they were aware of the law, but they did not abide by it.
The charges considered against both men include poor moral conduct relative to false imprisonment, neglect of duty, failing to take appropriate and necessary police action and creating false and inaccurate reports.

Anzelmo has said the parish is confident that the Fat City ordinance will withstand the challenges, in part because many of the same issues have already been unsuccessfully argued by Fat City bar and property owners in federal court.
The controversial Fat City ordinance, designed to revitalize the area, was approved by the Parish Council in September. As part of the new law, bars and lounges must close no later than 1 a.m. on weekends and at midnight during the week. The new hours are set to go into effect March 31.
That provision proved to be the most controversial of the far-reaching zoning ordinance, which also outlaws strip clubs by Jan. 1, 2013, and seeks to transform Fat City into an area filled with upscale shopping, dining options and condominiums.
