Louisiana has a history of a lot of corrupt government. Notice in today's issue of Time magazine that a lot of funds for disaster planning and relief were misappropriated, in other words stolen.... No wonder there wasn't much local planning at either the city or state level.... <br /> <br />It appears from the pictures in Time magazine, that busses the National Gurad had to be leased from a private coach company to evacuate the refugees out of New Orleans. Whey weren't the school busses used before the storm to evacuate the people who couldn't afford cars, planes, trains, and busses? <br /> <br />I have a feeling that the first paragraph had something to do with the lack of funds of the second paragraph.... Louisiana's corrupt government..... <br /> <br />It also appears in Mississippi and Alabama FEMA and the local authorities had good plans to meet this disaster. However, in Louisiana and New Orleans, it appears there hasn't been a lot of cooperation in the past, and in the present..... <br /> <br />Reread the third paragraph..... <br /> <br />
