Corps Spends Tax Dollars To Burnish Tarnished Image
The Army Corps destroyed Greater New Orleans. That creates a little PR problem. So what do they do?
Spend $1 million of taxpayer money to create a favorable image of this rogue agency.
The Corps has hired a swanky public relations firm for a three-year media campaign. http://opp-inc.com/content/index.php?page=outreach-portfolio-1
The best way to improve the Corps’ public image is to build better and more resilient levees in New Orleans, restore the storm surge buffering wetlands destroyed by the MR-GO, and stop lying to the people. President Obama and Secretary of Defense Gates should put an immediate halts to this outrage. And then they should appoint an 8/29 Investigation Panel as levees.org has been advocating for years.
The time for reforming—and more ideally, dismantling—the Corps is long overdue.
