They are discussing removal of statues in Dallas now

Liberals won't ever stop with their white guilt nonsense. There was even talk here in HOUSTON of removing a statue of Sam HOUSTON. Thankfully the black mayor basically said he's never even thought of Statue removal and he doesn't have time for it.

Would NOLA be in as deep of shite as they are right now?



Why would they have spent that money any better than the millions they already had at their disposal?

Both issues are indicative of the real problem. Crony capitalism cost everyone eventually. It's really disheartening on so many levels.

I agree

I remember my first experience seeing a hajii take a shite on a dirt road out in Kabul in public, very weird.

Cleaning the drains out sounds like a great job for prisoners

The money on statues wouldn't put a dent in the SWB issues

It would certainly have been a decent start and that money would have been better spent on helping the city

This is the point! It is all about priorities. Maybe it would have gotten one turbine going and saved a few more properties.

A couple million bucks could've hired ample contractors to clean out some catch basins.

Try to tell someone who lost cars to the storms that $2,100,000 would not have made any difference.

100% this.

Flooding, pump repair, and drainage cleanup should be a top priority. Instead of jacking around with the statues Landrieu needs to take care of business.

I suspect the problem in this case has less to do with money and more to do with the nature of governmental jobs. If I'm right, throwing more money at it would have meant more money wasted.
