I'd like to see and independent audit of the mayor's books.
Throw in the governor's too!
How 'bout the Police Department's too?
Knowing NO the way I did, I would start the investigation with the Police Department and the Levee Board. The corruption in both institutes go back before Nagin was even born.
Another thing to thing about and remember:
Organizations like these form little kingdoms of their own...adminstrative bottlenecks where they control money and access to information. This is not actually a situation where the top totally runs everything. The top works with a level down, where the real management takes place. Elected officials come and go, but it's the adminstrators who stay who have a lot of the real power. And who may be cooking the books themselves.
