Very interesting...
His voting base now lives in Houston, Texas. His Mayor and Governor now utterly hated by most Louisiana voters. A wise move.
And he'll have the added advantage of being so outta there WTSHTF, lol.
There's a lot of $$$$$$ coming his way. He did his job in preventing the Feds, and making the Pubbies look bad. Not he gets to clean up on the gold strike down South.
Well looky here.
"and pigs fly and the moon is made of green cheese."
So I guess he owns one of those evil corporations that will profiteer from the rebuilding efforts?
Although the Louisiana RATs have lost some US Congressional and 1 (one) Senate race, they rarely loose state elections. They own the House and the Senate and the Governorship.
In summary, they are bulletproof until the people of Louisiana have had enough, which I see no evidence yet.
Perhaps this storm will result in a major demographic shift against the RATs.
Ruh, roh. Now, just how much time will Nagin and Blanco do behind bars for their incompetence and criminal negligence?
Sounds like the sounds of "KA-CHING!" were too loud to have his attention diverted.
$teping down to focu$ on hi$ engineering company which i$ heavily involved in the Katrina di$a$ter rebuilding effort.
"GREED IS GOOD"
Read: I can make a lot more money and I won't be investigated in the failures of the response while sitting in this position.
Blanco, Nagin. You're turn.
...and the money kept rolling in...
Thought you'd like to see this.
excerpt from the Shaw Group Inc.
"J.M. Bernhard, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Shaw commented, "This significant contract from the Corps, combined with our award from FEMA, enhances our ability to make an immediate and pronounced impact on the restoration efforts in New Orleans, South Louisiana and the Gulf Coast region. With nearly 5,000 of our own employees living and working here in our home state, we have been personally impacted by this devastating storm. We are committed to this region and we are grateful for the opportunity to play a leadership role in the rebuilding of Louisiana and our sister city, New Orleans."
Shaw is currently performing services under existing contracts with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, NASA, the Louisiana National Guard, the U.S. Navy, Jefferson Parish and other government agencies and entities. Shaw is presently providing temporary roofing and repairs under its existing "Blue Roof" contract. The company is providing critical logistical support to the U.S. Postal Service to restore mail service and has been providing critical food water and supplies to hospitals in the area. Shaw has provided emergency communications capabilities to both the city of New Orleans and St. Bernard Parish."
And the 'RATS are always pissin' and moanin' about Halliburton. This should be thrown right in their filthy faces.
He cut and run.
It's just like rats deserting the sinking ship.
RATS abandoning sinking ship.
It seems like the wrong person always resigns.
Oh boy. I'm sure they're doing a top-notch job, too.
