1)Wife Receives 10 years
                 Kendra Talley, age 30, was sentenced 10 years for participating in killing her husband weeks before Christmas of 2004. After the Judge announced the verdict, Talley's mother asked her whats she thought of it. Talley replied she thought it was fair and better than life behind the big bars. She killed her husband, Thomas Talley who would be 30 now, on December 11, 2004 just outside their Covington Pointe subdivision. She was cheating on Thomas with Tommy D. Rowell, age 42, which is why she wanted to kill him. Tommy was the one who did the shooting, so he has been sentenced to life in prison.

2)City Council Approves Budget
              Wednesday, December 1, The New Orleans City Council voted to increase property taxes. In approving this budget the council added money for firefighters, sanitation, public defenders, city planning, animal control and the arts. They voted to raise the city's millage rate by 6.74 mills , 2 mills less than Mitch Landrieus proposed. This increases 5% of total property tax bills. Some even said they wanted to scrape it back even more, but didn't receive enough votes to move forward.
