I did a little searching and this is what I found -
"In neighboring St. Bernard Parish, Sheriff Jack Stephens said 31 senior citizens died inside the flooded St. Rita's Nursing Home. The president of Jefferson Parish, Aaron Broussard, dissolved into sobs as he described the daily reassurances a colleague gave to his elderly mother that rescuers would reach her in a nursing home in St. Bernard. She drowned Friday."

"At St. Rita's Nursing Home in Chalmette, La., 31 residents were found dead in their beds. Managers had ignored orders to evacuate. Police officer Brad Mason said Sunday that about 6,000 residents were rescued from their homes in the New Orleans suburb. Some of the parish's southernmost towns remain submerged."

Why isn't he pissed at the manager's of the nursing home that ignored orders to evacuate? I also have the feeling that she didn't drown, she just died because they said the people were found in their beds. If they drowned it seemed like they all wouldn't be in their beds. It's such a horrible tragedy. I don't understand how he was that close and he didn't go get her or send someone to go get her.
That's the million $$$ question.
Why on earth didn't he go down there and get her himself?
Very, very sad.
So can't we figure out who that is?
Is it this man?
The levees of New Orleans, two of which are now broken and flooding the city, were also victims of Iraq war spending. Walter Maestri, emergency management chief for Jefferson Parish, said on June 8, 2004, "It appears that the money has been moved in the president's budget to handle homeland security and the war in Iraq."

No idea why he would say it back in june of last year, but is this the guy who's mother died? If he is, why isn't anyone interviewing him?
