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.



Sorry, Nagin.

Looks like Ray got 10 years. But over a bit of time I'm sure it will get reduced, and if he ran again for Mayor of N.O. he'd probably be re-elected.Then write a book and make the talk circuit. Hey, It worked for Marion Barry in DC.

They'd re-elect Barry in a minute. I keep waiting for his book, "I was a Cocaine Pushing Mayor".
