Fox and Friends interviewing a former NO city councilwoman. She says she went to a levee board meeting in 2000 and raised her hand and asked when they were going to talk about the levees. She was told it wasn't on the agenda.

Her name is Peggy Wilson, and she says that the money should be watched by someone who isn't a politician but understand how New Orleans has worked, and keeps them from doing business as usual.

Lots more about corruption that I didn't catch, including allocating roofing moneys for buildings that were scheduled to be demolished.

Limbaugh mentioned on his radio show a while ago that each levee in NO is controlled by a separate board. If more levees were built, then the boards' power would be, pardon the pun, watered down. So, no new levees. Lovely city, eh?
