That entire cesspool of a city should be bulldozed under and returned to wetlands. I will never waste my time in that city ever again.

If the courts hear this case, then every single person who has ever been mugged, assaulted, or attacked by criminals in New Orleans should get in line to sue the city.

Ray Nagin remains the idiot he proved himself to be back before Katrina blew in. NO can rot, as far as I'm concerned. Of course, it was rotting before Katrina blew in. Then there were the termites and the civic corruption.

"The claims allege poor design and negligence by the corps led to the failure of flood walls and levees."
Where do these people think the corps of engineers gets their money? The Corps requests money and politicians either approve or deny. I have seen with my own eyes the New Orleans district ask for money for such updates and repairs and be turned down due to environmental and political concerns.

The USACE should demo the levees and let New Orleans take a mythological place beside Atlantis. Make sure all the scum are present at the Astrodome.

I thought I remember hearing money was allocated to fix levees, but state and/or local officials spent it elsewhere. Am I mistaken?

...or attacked by criminals in New Orleans...You should also include those preyed upon by criminals exported by New Orleans when pickings were too slim there.

$77 BILLION?? You gotta be kidding me. That figure is larger than California's budget.

In light of the pending litigation, the Corps Of Engineers needs to pull out and suspend all activities in the area until the matter is settled and any Statutes of Limitations expired.

Considering that the responsibility for maintaining the levee was the city's, they really piled it on......
