“Great, so they have sued to get more taxpayer money to waste.”
And, believe me, they WILL waste it. Louisiana in general, and New Orleans in particular, is so heavily invested in litigation as its major industry that I don’t think I’d be exaggerating by saying that 90% of all New Orleanians have filed at least one lawsuit during their lifetimes. I know for a fact that there are a great many New Orleans families whose members do not work, and have never worked, but all of them file lawsuits on a regular basis. In short, litigation is their career choice.

Interesting. I was born here and have lived here for most of my life. I have never filed a lawsuit, nor do I know of anyone who has, including any friends or family. I also somehow have been lucky enough not to know any of these families "whose members do not work, and have never worked",but all of whom file lawsuits on a regular basis. Could you tell me how you know this "for a fact"?
