New Orleans to Auction Buses
Starved for cash, the New Orleans school district is hoping to sell its flooded school buses on eBay. Mayor Nagin admitted that the buses are unsalvageable, but could have nostalgic value.
“These were the buses that could’ve been used to evacuate stranded people, but weren’t,” said Nagin. “That gives them historic significance. Buyers ought to be willing to pay for that.”
Funds raised by the sale will be dedicated to the Mayor’s “city chocolatization” program.

“These were the buses that could’ve been used to evacuate stranded people, but weren’t,” said Nagin.
Just the kind of thing to say with elections around the corner. I think it's obvious by now that Nagin has no serious desire to remain mayor of New Orleans, or in politics, for that matter.
