One of highly underreported aspects of the levee system is that even if the Corps of Engineers comes up with a bulletproof solution for flood control, a locality is usually required to cough up 1/2 of the cost.

The governments in and around New Orleans had not been coming up with their portion of the funding for a prolonged period of time.
