Behind The Lens episode 51: ‘The city is responsible for this, not the residents of Gordon Plaza.’
This week on Behind The Lens:

NOLA Public Schools has completed its investigation of grade inflation and credit issues at John F. Kennedy High School – issuing a 5 page report on the matter. Marta Jewson has the details.

And – the Orleans Parish Assessor’s office gets caught defending a business tax policy that his staff later said was never really an active policy. Michael Isaac Stein explains.

Also: the residents of Gordon Plaza – whose homes were built on the Agriculture Street Landfill – went to City Hall this week to press Mayor LaToya Cantrell on what they say are unkept promises.

Behind The Lens is available on Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Play and Stitcher.
