I can hardly wait until Daley starts whining about FEMA and the Federal
Government not giving Chicago money to develop a plan in case Chicago
floods.

BIrds of a feather, evidently.

"By 1998, Louisiana’s state government had a $2 billion construction budget,
but less than one-tenth of one percent, or $1.98 million, was dedicated to
New Orleans levee improvements. By contrast, $22 million was spent that year
to renovate a home for the Louisiana Supreme Court.

Where did all the money go? Again, the Times-Picayune says much of the money
went not to flood control, but to lawmakers’ pet projects, from a $750
million for a new canal lock to a $2.5 million Mardi Gras fountain project
that ran $600,000 over budget."

Let's hope Daley ends up behind bars -- or in the looney bin -- where
he
belongs.


Send him to New Orleans.
