An example of the news I find when out of town: $3.5 million Katrina memorial proposed for New Orleans. “The [Unified New Orleans Plan] is making its way through city approval processes. While the memorial is a far lower priority than upgrading drainage and reconstructing neighborhoods during the next decade, it is still listed among the top projects … It is not clear whether the memorial will ever get built. No money has been secured for it.” Aaah, priorities, especially hurricane-shaped ones that have nothing to do with the FLOODING that almost destroyed New Orleans.
