Next time you are in Louisiana, you should ask the locals to pick up your hotel, food, and bar-tabs.
They owe it to you...
...Many municipalities in Louisiana still had
outstanding Federal Emergency Management Agency loans dating back to
Hurricane Katrina. As Landrieu saw a tough re-election race approaching,
she worked loan forgiveness into a Homeland Security bill. And then she
crowed about debts being forgiven all around the state, courtesy of
Louisiana's senior senator....
...Take, for example, St. Tammany Parish, an
electorally crucial Republican suburb of New Orleans. The parish school
system received forgiveness for nearly $68 million in Katrina loans last
December. Then came $10 million in forgiveness for the Parish Sheriff's
Office, and $14.5 million in forgiveness for the parish government....
