08/29 Hurricane Katrina: One Year Later, Part 2
Quote From: mommakr I wish people would stop blaming George Bush for the way Katrina victims have been treated..And No I'm not even Republican!! Ray Nagin is responsible for this travisty, He was offered $500.00 for each deserted car by a company in Texas, and they would haul them away, this deal would have brought in 6 million dollars; instead he held out for his "local" people to do the job, and nothing has been done! Now it is going to COST them $26 million . Everyone needs to look at the other towns that were hit by Katrina, and see the progress they have made to see where the real blame lies. The clean up is a local responsibility. Look at any tornado, flood, volcano eruption etc. It's up to the individual city to handle the problem, how they dole out the money, and handle the clean up is up to the mayor and governor. That's a horrible story! Do you have a link or something to that story, about the cars?
I also think it's unfair to purely blame the federal government. The mayor of N.O. is a boob...sorry, but he is. Every time he opens his mouth he embarrasses himself and his city.
