Speaking with WWL’s Newell Normand this morning, Eileen Carter, co-chair of the recall group NoLaToya-dot-org.
The drive to recall New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell is headed into the home stretch with under 45 days to go before the ballots must be turned and counted to force a recall election.
Carter says the group is stepping up their efforts.
“Petitions are flooding in on a daily basis, we are over halfway there, people are coming forward in record numbers to sign the petition,” Carter says.
But, she says that's why they are sending out another round of mailers and preparing to canvas neighborhoods across the city in hopes of getting the needed signatures by Ash Wednesday to force a recall election.
“We’ll have another round of mailers going out. We also are doing our canvasing campaign, so if you are interested in canvasing with us or canvasing your neighborhood, we will give you the information to do that.”
