Anyone see the damaging report on NBC about the Orleans Levee Board? |
|
It was very harsh.
Basically said money given to them did not go to improve the levees, but rather to other places such as a highway going to a casino. $45,000 went to investigate a critic of the levee board and the same was given to him to settle a lawsuit over it.
One guy thrashed the board pretty good. One note: Tons of Reagan pics all over his wall.
The president of the board did say money for the levees comes from a different account. He also said 'the levee system worked'. He looked very bad.

1. Yet, the new levees got 80% completed before the funding was pulled |

and the funding was pulled because Bush wanted to finance his phony Iraqi invasion without cancelling the tax cuts.
I'm sure that finishing them wouldn't have cost a fraction of what it will cost now.
