I thought that the Mayor of New Orleans turned down offers of help from the Federal Government in the first few days after the hurricane. Is this not correct, or did I miss something?

Possibly. I also believe the Dem Governor slowed things down considerably for some turf oriented reason.

You are correct and the governor also turned down all requests.
You might remember the mayor also had about thousand school buses he refused to allow to be used for evacuation, even though he had people volunteering to drive.

It was the Governor that turned it down.

Had Bush sent in Fed troops without her OK it would have been an impeachable offense.
