Nagin and his friends have already made a couple miliion on this deal already with waste removable an other contracts .He can't afford any outsiders watching closely.

Ray Nagin, comedian.

Funny he hasn't answered why the hundreds of city and school busses were not used for the evacuation of New Orleans before Katrina hit.

Keep 'em laughing, Ray - and you'll keep your job.

I dont understand why more of the focus has not been on the sloppy job the Corps of Engineers did on the levees. After all, the city was not flooded by a hurricane, it was flooded because a chapter of the federal govt. did not do its job. I remember even back when I was a little girl talk about what would happen if just a Cat 1 storm came up the right way from the Gulf. Yes, Katrina was a Cat 3 storm, but it was well east of New Orleans when it made landfall. I think that the property owners that lost their homes and businesses, not to mention the families that lost loved ones should hold the Corps of Engineers responsible. I truly hope that the city can be rebuilt, with the racial diversity that made it so wonderful and unique.

Haha. Ray Nagin is an interesting fellow. He really only cares what the people of New Orleans think anyway, and they recently re-elected him. So he may come off as abrasive or ignorant to the rest of us, but he is king of his own little world, so why worry about him.

So you think "You guys in New York can%u2019t get a hole in the ground fixed and it%u2019s five years later. So let%u2019s be fair." Are you comparing a terrorist act to an act of God? You knew hours/day ahead of time to get people out. Your choice not to assist those to move killed people!! Can you sleep at night? You and your management team is responsible to rebuild 'your city'. I personally donated thousands of dollars to the Katrinia effort. Check your pockets!!!
