A first-class problem: Mayor LaToya Cantrell was already facing criticism for her travel to spots around the country and abroad. But as Joseph Cranney reports, it appears that her penchant for flying first-class could run afoul of the city's own travel policy. Her office says there is still time to reimburse the $29,000 in upgrades. A short-term solution: The city council voted to pause short-term rental applications Monday in response to a federal appeals court ruling last week that the current law descriminates against out-of-state property owners. This, the council said, will allow it to come up with a new law that passes legal muster by March, but as Ben Myers reports, the moratorium was immediately met with another lawsuit. Decisions, decisions: The Saints have begun the process of cutting their roster down to the 53 players they'll start the regular season with in just under two weeks against the Falcons. Six players have been waived already. You can follow the process here. Meanwhile, columnist Jeff Duncan writes that the team is starting to form its identity under new head coach Dennis Allen.
