New Orleans Democrat mayor has declared economy class flights unsafe for black women, while insisting she wont repay $30,000 of taxpayers' money blown on first-class flights to France and Switzerland.
Speaking at a press conference Thursday, LaToya Cantrell said: 'My travel accommodations are a matter of safety, not of luxury.
As all women know, our health and safety are often disregarded and we are left to navigate alone.
'As the mother of a young child whom I live for, I am going to protect myself by any reasonable means in order to ensure I am there to see her grow into the strong woman I am raising her to be.
'Anyone who wants to question how I protect myself just doesn't understand the world black women walk in.'
She has repeatedly refused to repay the cost of a luxury American Airlines flight from Washington Dulles Airport to Switzerland for herself in July, despite a city ban on luxury air travel.
Cantrell spent around $10,000 on her own flat bed seat and blew a similar amount on a first-class return to France earlier this year - while her aides traveled in coach.
Cantrell has defended her purchase of the luxury tickets as her both 'doing business' on behalf of the city and because she believes it wouldn't be safe for her to travel in economy class.
While the mayor sat in first-class, her team, including her security detail, were seated in coach.
The Chief Administrative Officer has revealed how the law department is still examining whether Cantrell must reimburse almost $30,000 in taxpayer money for first-class tickets to France and Switzerland.

Sounds like NO elected a welfare mom. They’re better off with a traditional crook and scoundrel as mayor.
BLACK PRIVILEGE.
If I was still flying, I would absolutely REFUSE to either work the flight with her on it or would only work it if she was forcibly removed.
The ONLY place she should be allowed to fly to is AFRICA.
For years Black Democrat/communists watched their White Democrat/communist masters cheap and steal in office. Now that the White Democrat/communists are gone, the Black Democrat/communists think that once elected, they can cheat and steal like massa did. Their problem is the new media that they can’t control. Tus stories like this that would never be posted when Democrat/communists had complete control of the news cycle, get posted in places that are not friendly to the rodents.
**********
But the rodents are still controlling a lot of areas and
setting the rules for all. Change is inevitable be it
good or bad.
Maybe the Mayor wanted to make a cash deposit in Switzerland so the IRS couldn’t find a paper trail. Need to check the banks in those two countries to see if the Mayor has accounts.
BLACK PRIVILEGE
**********
Yep WHITE PRIVILEGE is declining rapidly with the
current changes. This is normal for the world over time.
It is ever changing since its beginning with differ classes.
Maybe Rabbit Hash Ky?
I haven’t seen who their mayor is at the present.
And I thought the “Amos and Andy” show was fictional.
Fly 1st class, business class, coach or the all new Low Class
Aha! So that’s the rule that allows BLM frauds to buy themselves mansions and mega-cars. It all becomes clear.
Dishonesty is a bad look for the Mayor.
She would be better served by boldly proclaiming she is entitled to ultra luxury by virtue of the color of her skin.
No one could publicly criticize her for saying that.
She’s a dem grifter. But I repeat myself.
CC
That's inevitable. And they definitely hate our protected class of entitlement babies.
She does have a point since black women have been killed in plane crashes when riding coach.
It’s good to be the King!
Nope.
Sorry LaToya… the back rows of an airplane are actually the safest part of the plane, should it crash..
She was taking lessons from another black female government official Sheila Don’t You Know Who I Am Jackson-Lee.
