​​Entergy is trying to force New Orleans to pay $96 Million for their work on a gas plant that hasn't even been built yet. This letter outlines the legal authority the New Orleans City Council has as a regulator to protect New Orleans residents and businesses from Entergy's wasteful spending. 


Who is on the hook for the money Entergy irresponsibly spent? Entergy's shareholders, not New Orleans.

​The results from the Independent Investigation into Entergy’s Paid Actor Scandal hit the presses late last night. Here’s all the info you need:

The Honorable Piper Griffin is the presiding judge.
