If fewer citizens return then fewer svcs are needed.

"They don't want to see the bloated government that we had in the past," said Nagin.

Reports of few people in the city ... the few businesses open have help wanted signs on them ... Other than garbage pickup [which will finally be happening one day a week in residential areas] NO services are needed. People pay for water and electricity ... what other "services" are needed in an empty city? The National Guard is still in place ... so minimal local policing is needed until that ends.

The bloated city payroll has been an abomination for decades ... Hizzoner did nothing to remedy that situation until now when there is no money to pay them. Shut the city down except for the garbage trucks. Hizzoner can stay "home" in Texas where his family lives.

Let services put into place "as needed" ... when needed ... until then, shut everything down.
