This week on Behind The Lens, the city passed its annual budget — with the surprise addition of millions in one-time funds. More updates on Greenfield’s proposed $400 million grain silo project, including a side contract to use the site as a borrow pit and new opposition to the company’s land use plan.

A federal judge denied Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson’s request for a non-disclosure agreement that would consent decree data.

Our guests this week are Lens reporters Michael Isaac Stein, Nick Chrastil and Joshua Rosenberg.
