It could be nothing, nothing as in these 3,000 people on the City's payroll didn't exist anyway...like some of those AWOL policeman who didn't exist.

Posts 1 through 6 just about cover it, now will the FBI be able to prove it (at least what we already know) and will Nagin be residing (along with Compass and Morial) in the same facility as Edwin Edwards?
Doubt it, probably the best we can hope for is 5 times the amount $$ we used to send down that rat hole instead of 10 times the amount.

Nagin finds a silver lining.
To: Red Badger
Whether non-existant or no shows, they'll still vote for Nagin, Blanco, etc.

I have a feelin' that NO politics and LA's in general is going to go thru a bigger clean-up than Hurricane Katrina's physical damage...........

Billy Tauzen's famous "Half of Louisiana is under water, the other half is under indictment."...
What about the missing bus drivers, did they exist?
Do they all vote absentee?
The FBI began investigating the New Orleans police who had abandoned their post during Katrina and of the more than 500 screened so far, 84% don't exist.
Tony Snow said, of the 1700 police working for New Orleans, maybe only 1000 really exist.
Where was that payroll money going?
We can be relatively sure it is not flood control or levee improvements.

Watta Jacka$$! No head for government bidness! He could just fire them and they would have to get unemployment from the feds. He's thrown everything else at the feds why not his 'imaginary friends' er, workers.

Maybe this is his way of taking the phantom employees off the payroll books.
