It was reported today

President Bush signed into law a $162 Billion war spending bill which would require Louisiana to come up with $1.8 Billion for flood protection/levee construction. What does Louisiana's coastal protection have to do with a war? Evidently a great deal!

The city of New Orleans is gearing up to rid the city of FEMA trailers! Four inspectors have been hired to begin enforcing the trailer ban! Approximately 4000 FEMA trailers remain in use in the city. At 1000 trailers per inspector, . if each inspector gets 2.75 trailers out of the city every single day, they will be done in one year!
