All of the N.O/ LA politicians realize that if they don't get those LA evacuees back in bondage in NO quickly that they will never return, and that will really lower their own political power.
This is COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT Machievellian behavior.
Absolutely explains the LA politicos whole situation now, and to some much more minor degree, the other Demodogs...
Their behavior has been Machiavellian from the very beginning, because it always is. To them, the people of NOLA are nothing but pawns, a means to an end. And yet they portray themselves as their champions, and the pawns are fooled, even though their so-called champions have absolutely no compassion at all. It is the height of evil.
