One of the finalists to run the city’s recreation program asked this week that a discussion of his candidacy be held in public, rather than in a closed-door session of the screening committee, city records show.
Two days after that request, a subcommittee of the New Orleans Recreation Development Commission canceled its private session, where members were to discuss the four remaining candidates. After that session, the committee was scheduled to cut the list down to three candidates.
Instead, the committee on Wednesday decided to keep all four in the running and have public interviews with each of them.
