Incompetence and corruption are the problem. New pumps already on hand, but never installed, no money? How the f__k could you not prioritize something like that? Total incompetence and corruption are the only answer. Dirt levees? Never heard of concrete retaining walls i.e. dirt filled levees? Total and complete incompetence, typical libs.
I believe the good people of NO have voted twice on bonds to upgrade the equipment and levees and have voted no both times.
