Like I've said, the Mayor had to tee off on others in order to try and deflect his own heavy duty culpability.

For years the democrats have known of the dangers that existed, not only in the levy system but of the criminial elements in their society.

They chose not to build up the levy system.

It was their choice. They used money for other things, then asked for more because they did not fix what needed fixin. It was their choice.

Now we reap what they have sown. Of course, they must blame others. They did it with the impeachment, with elections, with supreme court judgments. That's what democrats do.

Strongly disagree with #12. N O at best is a horrible crime ridden debauched hellhole with incompetents running it and awash is cronism and corruption. You go just for a visit and you are taking a chance to become a crime victim, its as lawless as a banana republic city. Not a dime of federal monies should go into rehabilitation of the city, if fellow Louisianians want to be taxed for it, that's up to them.
