Get ready to say goodbye to 'chocolate city'
They never addressed the diversion of federal money intended to
strengthen the levees before Katrina. That was the real crime. He used
it to prop up shipping interests in New Orleans and screw the poor,
mostly black, people in the 9th ward. They couldn't contribute much
to his campaign and they would vote for him anyway.
I was helping Habitat For Humanity in Slidell after Katrina. Nagen was
running for reelection. One local was voting for him. When asked why,
seeing his performance, she said what do you expect, he was mayor for only
2 years before. Sad.
