My rabid liberal sister now gets it. The fact is these corrupt officials took kickbacks for decades and looked the other way while crooked contractors did shoddy work on major infrastructure. I just pray that the voters here who continued to elect the crooks see it too and change their ways. It did not have to be this bad.
Sadly, a bunch of those voters are being sent here to Texas. The freakin Astrodome is going to wind up with a congressional district, due to gerrymandering.
Oh well, they have to live in Houston. Me, I would take my chances with the 'gators in New Orleans.
