That may be true. But, the hundreds of thousands of people living in the suburbs of the metropolitan N.O. area are filled with lots of good people who are going to suffer even more because of bad choices in N.O.
IMHO, they should have let the entire metro area vote and not worried so much about the evacuees that don't have the financial means to come back on their own. This area truly is vital to the ecomony of our country. The WORKING PEOPLE, also known as taxpayers, should be making these choices not the welfare queens, pimps and drug dealers that Peggy Wilson was talking about. Peggy Wilson was not a bigot. She was/is a courageous woman who told it like it is. Even Oliver Thomas, a black city councilman, is trying to prevent freeloaders from repopulating the housing projects. He wants to restrict public housing to employed people only. Many of the project residents have lived their for 30 or 40 years with no desire to better themselves. Instead of being politically correct, it really is time for people to tell it like it is. Welfare is supposed to be short-term, a hand up not a hand out.
