Not living there now, the Governor is in Baton Rouge, the State Capitol. I wouldn't expect her to be in New Orleans or any outlying Parish during the height of the storm. Remember, the storm by-passed New Orleans. It was the levee that burst, that inundated the City, the day AFTER the storm. The Mayor has a storm headquarters WITHIN the city but can't control a levee break, especially when the feds told him to kiss their ass, when they refused 2 YEARS IN A ROW, for needed funds. The Army Corp of Engineers, a Federal Flood Mamagement Team like the Tennessee Valley Authority, is in charge of the levees, NOT the City! It's a part of the Emergency Management. I haven't lived there in 35 years, yet you want ME to be the expert for you, but because I LISTEN and I READ, you want ME to be EINSTEIN, when YOU PEOPLE who are natives of NEW JERSEY, don't even know your OWN laws and regulations!
