WTOP reported TODAY that the buses came back with a total of ONE person. They were also bitching that Williams wasn't there to great them when they arrived at 3AM!!!!
I also "heard" they were subjected to speeches by the local politicians the moment they got to the armory. As if they hadn't been through enough!
It's beginning to look like a vast left wing conspiracy.
Every levee in Louisiana is controlled by a "Levee Board". There are about two dozen "Levee Boards". They are a main source of political power - i.e. they are fiefdoms. And they are corrupt. Yes, some have bought casinos, some have bought aircraft, boats, etc.. You won't change it because it is enshrined in the Louisiana Constitution.
If I had my way, and if I were president, I would not give one damned dollar to Louisiana before I used emminent domain to take over all of the levees and give control of them to the Corps of Engineers.
