Tony Snow said, of the 1700 police working for New Orleans, maybe only 1000 really exist.
Where was that payroll money going?

Leader of New Orleans Police Resigns***NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Police Superintendent Eddie Compass resigned Tuesday after four turbulent weeks in which the police force was wracked by desertions and disorganization in Hurricane Katrina's aftermath.
"I served this department for 26 years and have taken it through some of the toughest times of its history. Every man in a leadership position must know when it's time to hand over the reins," Compass said at a news conference. "I'll be going on in another direction that God has for me."............***
We can be relatively sure it is not flood control or levee improvements.
They don't call Louisiana America's last banana republic for nothing!! I know I shouldn't laugh, but this is absurdly funny.

like the devil?
Ruh roh!
Holy cow!
oughta say unholy coward.
True...but this is startling news; hence my reply.
Not good. The 911 response times of non-existent cops can be really long.
I wonder if the same person is on their rolls under more than one name.
I can barely believe my eyes and ears when hearing we are now being asked as a country to fork over gargantuan billions of dollars to Louisiana FOR THEIR CONTROL AND DISPENSATION, without so much as a receipt and/or documentation as to how it's spent.
The state should be taken into some sort of Marshall Law embrace, rebuilt with some sense to the georgraphy and not upon sentimentality, and every individual harmed by the damage (there and elsewhere) helped financially. BUT, to leave Louisiana -- New Orleans, specifically -- to profit yet again with no supervision (or even with supervision, because I am thinking the whole area needs to be relieved of duties, at least, for a while), is the most wasteful thing I have ever heard. It equals "guest worker programs" in nuttiness and waste as to Americans' taxes.
She's come undone
She didn't know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late
She's come undone
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn't fly
It was too late
It's too late
She's gone too far
She's lost the sun
She's come undone
She wanted truth but all she got was lies
Came the time to realize
And it was too late
That sort of was Snow's reaction.
It is said that in LA half the state is under water and the other half is under inditement.
Oh, we've got that right here in Chicago too. Now that the Feds are peeking into NO city affairs, we'll smell the stink of dirty laundry. BTW, former IL Gov in on trial right now for scams. In Chicago the fallout isn't over our hired truck scam.
700 times an average salary of $35,000 = $24,500,000
So how many of these 700 'missing' voted last time? I'd say most of them...
