The mayor and council have been sparring about which sites in New Orleans should be used to house trailers as temporary homes for returning residents. The council had passed an ordinance giving its members authority to block trailer sites in their districts after the mayor had proposed sites that included parks and playgrounds. Nagin vetoed the ordinance but the council overrode the veto. Nagin then said the trailers site would stand, regardless of the council action, but later back tracked.
