Goals for the mayor of New Orleans

With Hurricane Nate ready to hit New Orleans this weekend I'm flabbergasted that there are still pumps that are not working. As of Thursday, 108 of 120 pumps were operational. Why isn't this a top priority? When Katrina hit all of the pumps were not operational and 12 years later they are still not all operational. This is just ridiculous.

Common sense goals for each Mayor of New Orleans:

1. Decrease the violence in the city. Start a program like New York City implemented, "stop-question-and-frisk program, or stop-and-frisk." More cops and more security cameras. Tougher sentencing.

2. Have all 120 pumps operational for the entire hurricane season!! Does this need to be said.


3. Improve the levees. Unless I'm mistaken the current levees are rated for a category 3 Hurricane, the same as it was before Katrina. This is not good enough. Start improving each one until they all rated for a category 4. I realize this is a very tall order but each mayor has a term of four years. They each should be able to upgrade one levee during their term. Implement a one cent sales tax to fund it or ask for federal funds, idk but get it done.


A safer city from violence and flooding should be the top priority for every New Orleans mayor before they move onto to other issues and improvements.
