Reply #30: there should be preconditions for federal money [View All]

[rfkrfk]

the Levee board should get out of the casino business,
amougst other reforms I think it should make.
The relationship between the Levee Board,
and the Corps of Engineers, should be clearly stated by the Board...
before any federal involvement or federal money.

here is some background info,

the source is kinda dubious, so take it for what it is worth


keep in mind that the CoE builds levees, just not THOSE levees.
It is also confusing, that the CoE has a district office in New Orleans.
I don't know, one way or the other, if the CoE was consulted on the
part of the levees that failed, but they don't look like
typical CoE designs.

IMO, taking federal money, simply allows state people another excuse.

The BS talk about Cat 3 and Cat 5 needs to stop, but I'll leave
that for another time.
