Is he fricking serious?

He wants to spend $500,000 to pretend his own criminal negligence didn't cause the fricking flood?

He's paying for the city not to be found liable.

Studies and engineer reviews are a joke. $590k to tell you something that the pregnant lady on front of Costco already knows.

Corrupt politicians.

And another 500k will be required for oversight of the corrective work.

Aren't you already paying a Director <$200k to know this, or did he hire someone without qualifications?

"In conclusion, the city's pumps and drainage infrastructure are ill-equipped to stand up to the mounting stresses posed by global climate change."

Really?

My company should really really put in a bid for this.

I can do the entire project with maybe two sentences.

Pumping infrastructure is old as shite and when told of important updates that were needed, Landrieu didn't want to hear about it.

Mitch Landrieu reminds me of Jindal so much and he's following the same trajectory as he did.

I can't wait to laugh my arse off when his bullshite future Presidential campaign crashes and burns long before Iowa when the SJWs and enough democrats reject him for being a white male.
