Reply #1: Thanks fb for the article. What gets me is the corruption and aftermath

[uppityperson]

The corruption to let things be unsafe, not just in NO but in many places. Immediate financial gain outweighs longterm safety considerations. And the aftermath of the flooding of NO and the destruction of the MS coast is PITIFUL!!!! Mr.Stevens of AK and his brazillion dollar bridge to the airport island is criminal graft, and I am glad he visited NO and got to see what it is like. I hope to hell that, if they hold the DNC (or whatever that is) in NO this spring, or even if people go there for Mardi Gras, that they take the time to tour the coast and see how bad it is. The aftermath response has been pitiful and this, along with the corruption, is what gets me. God is Money.:rant:
