Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill says New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell is abusing her power in an ongoing dispute over trash pickup in the French Quarter.

Murrill accuses Cantrell of manufacturing an emergency in order to steer the sanitation contract on an emergency basis to Henry Consulting.

IV Waste has been doing the job for months, reportedly to the satisfaction of locals.

A civil court hearing is scheduled for today for a lawsuit filed against Cantrell by a resident and a business owner in the French Quarter.
