The Commission does not engineer and build levee protection, that jurisdiction falls squarely on the U.S Army Corp of Engineers.

Does the Levee Commission let the bidding for projects?

And, once again, they were more interested in casinos than levees.

I believe wholeheartedly there was and is corruption on the Levy Commission that needs to be cleaned up immediately. However, I believe there was and is a lack of Federal oversight for that commission. And this is the crux........Must the citizens of the Metropolitan area of New Orleans suffer because the Federal Government lacked oversight for the building of our levy protection system. Where does the buck stop? It always stops at the Federal level.
