To: Mayflower Sister
Had she been referring to budgetary constraints, there would not have been a reference to "on a sunny day". Sorry, you are WRONG on this one. I heard the exchange when it happened and she insulted the New Orleans public workers.

I heard the exchane on replay, and taped it, and watched it several times.

"Sunny day" describes the best circumstance for the operation of transportation infrastructure. It actually is a relevant variable. And mass evacuations would have been more effective if there was a massive, operatine mass transportation system. But there wasn't.

There were those buses.

Her excuse is a lame one, but I don't believe she was impugning the workings in NOLA, Orlando, or whatever other cities she named. She was blaming the Feds for not making better transportation infrastructure.

I'm glad there's a counterpoint here, actually.
