Mark Major Back in RTA CEO Race | New Orleans News
Mark Major, the ex-deputy CEO who sued the RTA for half a million dollars, might be back in the running for the top job after a surprise twist: the board is set to vote on reinstating him as one of three finalists — thanks to Mayor Moreno’s push for local talent and a last-minute withdrawal from another candidate. But don’t expect smooth sailing — tensions flare over an email exchange involving his sister-in-law, Commissioner Barbara Major, and the board chairwoman’s swift rebuke about prior settlement agreements. With interviews scheduled for later this month and a salary range of $250K–$325K on the table, the RTA’s next leader could be chosen — and controversy could follow.

Correctional Officer Arrested for Striking Inmate | New Orleans News
A 24-year-old correctional officer in St. Tammany Parish, Jamyranesha Williams, was arrested and fired after admitting she struck an inmate during a verbal confrontation. The incident occurred on Sept. 17, and by the next day, she faced simple battery charges and was suspended from her job — just months after starting her career with the sheriff’s office. The case has since been officially investigated and is now in legal proceedings.

NASA Doubles Down on SpaceX for ISS | New Orleans News
NASA just handed SpaceX a $946 million contract for three more ISS missions, locking them in as the go-to crew ferry through 2030. With 17 total missions now under their belt and a combined deal value of $5.92 billion, SpaceX handles everything from astronaut prep to safe returns and emergency backups. While Boeing’s Starliner still holds a backup role after years of delays and test setbacks, SpaceX has been NASA’s reliable workhorse since late 2020—proving why they’re the undisputed leader in U.S. crewed spaceflight right now.
