The New Orleans City Council is continuing its probe into a flyer sent out earlier this year touting Mayor LaToya Cantrell's accomplishments at taxpayers' expense.
The flyers were mailed to thousands of voters near the end of an unsuccessful effort to recall Cantrell from office.
On Thursday, Gregory Joseph, the mayor's director of communication, said it was a coincidence that the flyers were sent out during the recall effort.
But chief procurement officer Julien Meyer said he was told the publicity effort was "in the context of the recall."
