Dear Sen. Butch Gautreaux: What did you do with the hundreds of millions of dollars that was given to your state and the city of New Orleans for disaster preparedness? Where did the money that hard working Americans paid in taxes that was given to your state go? Who got the money? Did you build casinos (as I have read), or did you use the money to buy votes or build luxury office buildings?

I want an accounting of the funds that were given to you and your state by the American People.

Yeah, and bridge studies, animated fountains, patronage, and downright theft, too.

80% of his state's largest city is uninhabitable for G-d knows how long, and all this turkey has to talk about is Bush. Shows where his real agenda is. Clue: it's not with the people of Louisiana.

Just out of curiosity, I looked at the LA State Senate website to see what ol' Sen. Butch has been up to:

Senator D. A. "Butch" Gautreaux - District 21
Senator Gautreaux has been assigned to the following:
Standing Committees
Agriculture, Forestry, Aquaculture, and Rural Development Finance
Natural Resources (Interim Member)
Retirement (Chairman)
Transportation, Highways & Public Works

Select Committees
Coastal Restoration and Flood Control
Consumer Affairs and Technology
Disaster Planning, Crisis Management, Recovery and Long-Term Revitalization
Homeland Security

Statutory Committees
Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget

Based upon Sen. Butch's committee assignments, he does appear to need to be answering questions ... instead of blustering about trying to divert attention from the things for which he could arguably be held responsible.

Oh, and by the way, Sen. Butch ... being nasty to a Republican president, Republican House of Representatives, and Republican Senate is really the way to make people feel sorry for your state. You are just another nail in Louisiana's coffin.
