Don't mend it, end it.

No rebuilding below sea level IMO.

Federal city would need new tenants
Losing Navy throws wrench in plan to save jobs
Friday, August 26, 2005

Louisiana Commissioner of Administration Jerry Luke LeBlanc said the federal city, which could mean a state investment of up to $100 million, would be built with the expectation that other federal facilities could be lured to Louisiana. (they already have the FBI, DEA, BTF, etc for Arkansas, Louisiana & Mississippi)

"The concept was not just solely focused on . . . the retention" of jobs, LeBlanc said. "It's focused on a lot of economic development projects. It's focused on: 'Here's the seed the state is willing to put up with the fairly strong expectation that you're going to expand the military presence.' "

Among the key tenants the state is hoping to attract is a regional office for the Department of Homeland Security(I guess that's out of the question now), which is being pushed by the state's congressional delegation. The state is also planning to move the 8th Coast Guard District headquarters from downtown New Orleans to the new facility.

I have a "silly" question for the AP (no - not "worser" :) ) - a great number of those who heretofor have collected state aid, no longer reside in the state (at least temporarily) - so, if revenues fall - and expenditures fall as well, (more or less proportionally), how can the "shortfall" in revenues be a crisis in this situation?

Judging by the media "Their budgits be wursening by the day."

But apparently they were referring to the educational budget.

It's when things are in worsest shape that we gotta worry.
