After taking shots for moving too slow in rebuilding New Orleans from critics in NY, Ray Nagin had some interesting remarks.
While I think its a little harsh, he has a point, it’s been 5 years since the attack and we still don’t have anything even being built there.

Seen “when the leeves break” ?
There are some nice comparisons to Katrina and 9/11 in there. A couple buildings vs. a whole city? Doesn’t take much to figure out who has the bigger job.

The first thing they teach you in bad manager school is how to shift the spotlight off yourself.
As was evident during Katrina, he got to be mayor because he was black, not because he was qualified. And to think he would just magically become qualified post disaster was just wishful thinking.

the shear fact that he was re-elected is reason enough to abandon the city.

The whole rebuilding thing pisses me off. The fact is the damn city is below sea level, on the coast, in the direct path of hurricanes. I’m sorry, but that is not a good investment of tax dollars.

You also have to realize it was built by the French.
