She's still a state representative so I see no problem with her there.

Not only that, her entire district is in the goddamned City of New Orleans. This is EXACTLY where she should be, regardless of her candidacy for city council.

there is now asphalt covering all but the top 2 1/2" of the catch basin's 18" tall opening. That means they've reduced the max water flow to 15% of its design capacity. 


Go look at all of them down the new construction on napoleon and Jefferson and Claiborne uptown. Same story.

That's a fairly easy fix. You just cut scuppers into the road at the curb to let the water get into the storm drain.

That should be a nice little $10M gravy job for SOMEONE'S crony.

That flag on his right shoulder indicating he is US military and running into battle makes me want to punch him in the dick. I fricking hate that guy and I don't hate many people.

Everyone in the pic in front of Willie Mae's looks like they are smelling shite.

Not sure if due to New Orleans or Mitch speaking.

LOL, good old New Orleans. I was living there when the May 8, 1995 flood happened. Wasn't there supposed to have been a bunch of improvements done after that?

And then Katrina happened. Wasn't there supposed to be a bunch of improvements done after that also?

What a bunch of morons running that city.

Did y'all see this on Facebook:

As flood waters were rising, this pumping station was locked, no one around. Only hours later did someone arrive. As the Mayor was in Aspen working on his next job and the Sewerage & Water Board Director was blaming global warming, many citizens are pointing the finger at the right place: City Hall. A mini-Katrina with thousands of flooded cars and homes could have been avoided if this administration focused on serving the citizens.

“Mayor Landrieu was out of town this weekend at a security conference. He left Friday and returned today,” Director of Communications Tyronne Walker said Monday afternoon.

Landrieu attended the Aspen Strategy Group’s annual invitation-only summer workshop that, according to its website, "brings together ASG members, outside experts, and administration officials to identify and anticipate the forthcoming foreign policy challenges facing the United States."

The conference, held in Aspen, Colorado, began Friday, Aug. 4, and was set to end Tuesday.




I wonder how much it cost the city to send him to that conference of lobbyist?

He and JBE are just upset some real business had to be tended too and interrupted there "get rich in politics" schemes. No doubt they both left to work on strategies to suck more FEMA money for the city to "study flooding".
