Katrina Victims: Justice is Coming

An excellent article in the LA Times takes on the Army Corps of Engineers, and their incompetence in protecting our Nation's cities:

Critics have asked why the federal government never created a uniform standard to improve the river's levees, a patchwork built by various local, county and state officials. After the 1993 floods, a panel of experts recommended putting the Army Corps of Engineers in charge of all levees, but few of the commission's sweeping recommendations were enacted.

I am quoted in this story as well: 

"How many more floods do we have to have?" he said. "How many more millions of miles of land have to be destroyed, how many more hundreds of thousands of people have to be displaced or die, before there's some substantial changes made by the federal government?"

 There is a rising tide of anger in America, as ordinary citizens watch their lives washed away in entirely predictable and preventable ways. I will not stop until they have justice.
