New Orleans Still Drowning in Federal Neglect
Quote:
The response to the drowning of New Orleans has been a failure on every level. "President" Bush's eloquent promise in Jackson Square to rebuild 'higher and better' soothed the nation. But since then there has been no concrete action plan for reconstruction -- only a patchwork of programs marked by dithering, bickering, and bureaucratic finger-pointing throughout.
-New York Times editorial, January 19, 2007, almost 18 months after the hurricanes.
