Mainly because she was losing badly: Julie Quinn quits the District D 24th JDC race
Less than a few weeks before the election no less! Paul Purpura over at NOLA Media Group has all the skinny (Hat Tip Patricia on twitter.) It seems as though it was just yesterday “Scott Free” was joining all the other area district attorneys extolling Quinn’s virtues. Times flies because it was actually 29 days ago.

A quick quote from that old story before we get to more current links on the mismanagement over at the State Port at Gulfport (website badly out of date):
As a result, Katrina hurtled containers, trailers and paper rolls into the neighborhoods of West Gulfport and East Long Beach. They heightened the terror of residents who remained in their homes, equally unprepared for the storm’s savagery. Essentially, containers that weigh 3 1/2 tons empty to more than 26 tons loaded, along with 5,400-pound paper rolls, pounded like battering rams against structures already compromised by wind and water.
