Summary
Kenner households pay roughly $400,000-$600,000 a year into Lafreniere Park through a parish fee, and Councilman Branigan wanted that money redirected to Kenner parks. The parish's councilwoman said the fee is fixed by law and the parish has invested $19.5 million in Kenner parks. The council indefinitely deferred the resolution 6-1, so nothing changes — but the fight may return with the next council.
