For the past couple of weeks, The Lens’ Tyler Bridges has been tracking down accounts of Mayor Mitch Landrieu engaging in political retribution. About a dozen people described how they had lost city business, been pushed off a board or committee, or were simply dressed down after voicing disagreement with the mayor’s policies.

If you’d like to participate via Twitter, use the #HardballMitch hashtag.
