Did they think that money was just there to make them feel more important or to pass out to cronies???

Well, it is Louisiana and that's how things are done. It's a LONG story. Goodnight, Huey. Goodnight, Earl.

First order of emergency operations: evacuate the non-combatants. See the pictures of all the school buses lined up so pretty in the water?? Where were the city buses, taxis, and limos? Where was the food & water for the displaced? And were was the commmunication. I lived for seven years just north of NOLA, corruption & graft is the name of the game in LA politics. Of course, the fact that the governor & mayor are Democrats has nothing to do with it--RIGHT!!!!! Instead, tell everyone to go to the Superdome & wait for the cavalry to arrive from Washington, DC!
