More Blame - Look Locally
More fingers are pointing to Washington. Washington isn't blameless, but the real blame is local. Whether or not there is enough money from Washington or from the State of Louisianna, local officials have to plan for every calamity. When you live in a city below sea level, with walls all around holding back the sea, you have to be prepared for a break. It appears that the plan was statistical. There odds were greater than 95% that a major hurricane would not hit New Orleans. Therefore it won't, so don't worry.
This is massive government failure. There is nothing more important in a city like New Orleans than water control, levee control and contingency plans. The lack of contingency plans is criminal considering the number of lives lost. This mayor and this governor should be held accountable, as should previous mayors and governors.
