I note that this press release is dated June 3, 2004. We don't know that the proposed hurricane disaster response plan was produced, but I have read on the internet portions of New Orleans' plan for coping with emergency situations such as major hurricanes. It appeared quite comprehensive and detailed, specifying that it was to be set in motion on the order of the mayor. Unfortunately, it was not implemented.
My point in posting this article was that the disaster plan was done by Clinton's former FEMA chief and, quite obviously, was never done OR was never implemented. Therefore, just what did the taxpayer (that would be you and me) get for the half million dollars?
