Levees, Getting Better, Need More
White House to Double Spending on New Orleans Flood Protection - New York Times
$1.5 billion is a step in the right direction, but more will be needed. That magic 'Category 5' issue is going to have to be addressed.
This was the single biggest issue behind the dean having to fire 140 faculty. They were primarily clinical faculty, because there just aren't enough people. There aren't enough people because there have been no assurances regarding the levees. Is it enough? I've heard as much as $32 billion. That's 21 times more. I think the numbers are going to have resolve somewhere in the middle. I just hope they don't give the money to the state.
