You are misinformed, the Corp and its contractors are fixing the levees, organized by FEMA (from the get go). The very same Corp that cleaned up the world trade center after 9/11 organized by FEMA. Who do you think did that?

I rely on local reports. For instance:

17th Street Canal breach fixed
Monday, 1:55 p.m.

By Jeff Meitrodt

With assistance from the Army Corps of Engineers, repairs have been completed to the 17th Street Canal breach, responsible for the post-Hurricane Katrina deluge into New Orleans, the state Department of Transportation and Development announced during its mid-day briefing.

These are the kinds of reports I'm reading. But maybe they just don't want to give outsiders credit or something. But that doesn't make much sense either because it seems they think very well of the Corps down there from other reporting.

The local government in LA has been getting money on both ends ever since the days of H.P. Long (flood of 1927)

The State and Locals in LA couldn't wipe with both hands, if that isn't clear I don't know what is. This is truly a banana republic right here on the mainland.

One bright side to all of this is that, people may realize that in the final analysis, people will get the government for which they vote.

Please contact your local and state agencies and make sure you know how they are spending our money. After this people should realize how the system is suppose to work.
