The state of Louisiana is infamous for corruption. Every other public official down there has been indicted for something.
Assuming Congress is going to come through with a gazillion dollars to rebuild New Orleans, how much of that money will actually make it to where it's intended. and who is going to watchdog it at every level?
I’m sure we can count on Nagin and Blanco to use the money wisely. Ya think?
I have heard quite a few ex-LA people call our local radio talk shows just disgusted with the corruption that is LA government...
They say the "inbreeding" between the Landrieu's and others is just sickening.
I heard quite a few Senators get up today and make a point of having complete oversight of any funds that are made available...and some that aren't really happy that we are hurrying so fast in voting for these supplementals...
Even Jeff Sessions, who is from Alabama, and one of my favorites...says that though his state and the others NEED the money....it should be closely monitored and only used in cases that insurance and/or business can't come in and do it...
