I think what he is really pissed at is the fact that 75% of the lift stations are still without power. This is something that should have been taken care of first. Now JP is having to spend time and resources to send out vacuum truck to suck everything out. Entergy did not have a good plan for this storm.

I was back in the area after Katrina in September so I rememeber some things that others may have forgot
The big rage in the early recovery was being prepared next time and having these massive "generators" on stand by when a storm approches to handle things like the lift stations etc...when entergy can't get the job done
I love how Young and Landrieu wanna put Entergy "on the clock" while they, Im sure not on purpose
, don't have their own backup plan
we elect the worst people in the world. and Im not defending entergy but frick John Young. What is HE doing to get stuff moving other than bitching?

Maybe JP should have had generators on standby to power those lift station in case something like this occurs. Seems to me JP has not prepared very well.
Also, I'm tired of the people of JP bitching because they don't have power. Their clean up process has begun while Tangipahoa Parish is still evacuating residents out of flood areas, Ascension Parish is evacuating residents, other parish have far more damage and far more things to concern themselves with than power.
It's as if JP feels they should be taken care of first, which is bullshite. Entergy is dividing their resources among all effected areas. John Young saying Entergy should have paid for hotel rooms and staged resources within an hour of the affected areas is idiotic. How are they going to do that when no one knew exactly where the storm was going to hit. What would of happened had they places their resources in Laplace? Then people would be bitching because they did that. How about instead of bitching, listen to what entergy is saying. Power plants, sub stations, transmission lines, essential services come first.
