Standing in Kenners Veterans Park, Mayor Ben Zahn rescinded his controversial anti-Nike policy Wednesday, four days after it erupted on social media and thrust Kenner into a national spotlight.
Zahn read a short statement and took a few questions in a brief appearance before assembled media, giving his first unscripted public comments since the memo enacting the policy became public.
Acting upon advice of the city attorney, I have rescinded my memorandum of Sept. 5, he said. That memorandum divided the city and placed Kenner in a false and unflattering light on the national stage.
