I hope that sooner or later the MSM discovers that New Orleans did have a written emergency plan to cover the evacuation of the poor, but that the idiot mayor of New Orleans ignored it, and allowed the evacuation buses to be ruined by the flood, forgotten.
The city leaders had at least two full days to use these hundreds of buses to evac the poor, exactly as their own emergency management plan called for.
Here's the southeast Louisiana evac plan supplement, most recently revised in 2000. Go to page 13, read paragraph 5. It states:
5. The primary means of hurricane evacuation will be personal vehicles. School and municipal buses, government-owned vehicles and vehicles provided by volunteer agencies may be used to provide transportation for individuals who lack transportation and require assistance in evacuating.
What a loser...I think he thought...N.O. is protected, we've missed the bullet so many times, we'll miss it this time...ignorance is the only word for him and the governor... again...self serving dems are at the helm...citizens should be scared to death of them...N.O. is proof of that...
Good find!
It was also the Governor's responsibility. When Hurricane Dennis was threatening Louisiana and Jeff parrish President Broussard started to tell everyone to evacuate--even though the storm wasn't even a fart in the Gulf, she said it was her job "to manage an evacuation."
So Kathleen Blank Stare--did you see her fumbling, embarrassing appearance on Larry King last night-- knew it was her job to evacuate the affected areas and she didn't implement the evac part of the state's disaster plan. She and Nagin and Mitchy Landrieu fell down on the job. They are all political roadkill.
If you need a ride, try to go with a neighbor, friend, or relative.
I have the entire evac notice if you want it.
Buses? What good are buses without union employees to drive them? Gotta wait for the dues and initiation fees' check to clear before you can start work son.
Nice job, Mayor McJackass.
Maybe the honorable mayor does not know how to read. It's Bush's fault....No Mayor Left Behind should have been adapted.
