Thanks for the ping...amazing how the Democrats are screaming about FEMA's red tape and incompetency. It would be funny if it weren't so tragic. We have a nearly bankrupt school system discussing a life threatening risk and the role they could play and they are wondering who is going to pay for the gas? It's no wonder they are a mess.

If a seventeen year old could comandeer a bus and drive over 70 people to Houston, the Mayor, Chief of Police, or someone wanting out could have done it too. Sitting around in an emergency whining about "we can'ts" ends up costing lives.
Screw the regulations, steal the buses, hotwire them if need be and drive as many people as possible to safety, preferrably the elderly and women with small children.
Abel-bodied men should have been the last out, not the first, as was shown in the first busloads that arrived at the Astrodome.

On September 1, Blanco issued an Executive Order asking for an inventory of all school buses and drivers in the state and giving the authority to commandeer them. Couldn't she on her own or at Nagin's request have done this earlier?

Just found this on Yahoo. More pics of the Blanco Buses.
A view of New Orleans, Louisiana September 9, 2005, after Hurricane Katrina struck. Emergency workers collected the dead of New Orleans on Saturday and the official death toll rose slowly, boosting hopes Hurricane Katrina would claim far fewer lives than the many thousands once feared.

Thanks for that photo.
The bus situation/fiasco is something liberals don't even want to discuss. They can't control the pictures and the documentation from the NO evacuation plan where the buses were to be used to evacuate people.

"The buses couldn't be used because they were under water." Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu, 9/11/05BS.
Many of the contemporaneous photos show water halfway up the tires, at most.
That's not "under water".
I saw Landrieu being interviewed on Fox News Sunday. She's an utterly shameless liar, and not even a good one.

Couldn't she on her own or at Nagin's request have done this earlier?Forgot to mention: it is completely implausible that the City and School Board had been negotiating use of the school buses as of June 9, but did not have a working inventory of the number of buses potentially at their disposal.
Even a 10-year-old would have asked "How many school buses does Orleans Parish have?"

How can I copy these minutes to a document for my files? Things lock down when I try to copy it to a word doc.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
