A lot of people in my area got rooked into spending money to go down to NOLA for clean up after Katrina. Most of them have lost their shirts because either the money isn't being paid to the contractors, or the contractors aren't paying the money to the people below them.
And that means the little guys who are working for those people aren't making any money, either.
I've heard horror stories from my husband about the houses in the 9th Ward that are still sitting there, but can't be torn down because the owners haven't applied --- for a hefty fee --- for permission to tear them down . At the rate they are going, the only thing that will clean the city up is another Cat 5 hurricane - and another levee break.
I really have to wonder about the 'leadership' down there. They scream and yell about 'failures' by FEMA and the Feds. But their leadership since hasn't been anything to brag about, imho.
Come on, Nagin, stop campaigning in other cities for whatever - and stop opening your mouth to prove that you're an idiot!
More later.
---yeah, I'm back. And as usual, this is my opinion. If you disagree, fine. That's your right.
