If any youz have followed the Ladder, my thing is Future Flood Safety, and that involves the Federal Flood of '05. I have yet to hear one candidate with any details about how they are going to come up with an extra $10,000,000/year fro the next 10 years just to pay for the maintenance on the Option 1???? Feilkow (sp) at a recent Council meeting with the Exquisite Corps over this question, ruminated the increased millages involved. Aside from the Fact that the Corps is trying an illegitimate move by sticking the City with these maintenance costs, how can the Mayor stand up for the City before the Corps of Engineers? That is the legacy of the Federal Flood of '05, in that if we don't Get That Right, our Levees Engineering, then all this other stuff with "Katrina" Recovery will become just cold fetid, toxic, stagnant soup --again. Thank you Thanks for asking this Question!
