Did I hear him say that the area of the levy that broke was not one slated for repair if the budgeted monies came in?

YEP!

That's cause they had just worked on the darn levee...it wasn't slated for repair cause they thought they had repaired it.

Are you talking about the Canal St. levee? Because if so, I thought that it was the most recently completed levee, supposedly going to stand up a lot better than the previous levees.
