Independent canal-data review set

MR-GO dominates at meeting

Few attend corps’ St. Bernard hearing~Scanning the empty green chairs in the school cafeteria, Gilmore said: “This is actually one of our lower-turnout meetings. We usually have 150 to 250 people.”
"Lately, most of the information provided by the corps has been “relatively the same,” Taffaro said.
~Editilla specticulatas~Perhaps folks are just getting tired of finding Times Picayune Newspapers used as Levee Stuffing? Perhaps people no longer believe the Times Picayune when it regularly spews Corps Public Relations announcements
masked as articles of public record? {For example, note the difference in Spin with the above TP lede and positive Corps coverage and this Advocate lede and slightly more accurate and to the point coverage.}
Maybe the Brave Survivors of St. Bernard Parish have been to see the growing 17th Street Canal Breach Repair LEAK. Maybe the tax-paying citizens of St. Bernard Parish would rather get on with the Business of Suing the Corps to make them finally pay for their Goddamned Criminal Engineering Product Liability rather than listen to any more "We're on the Job" BS?

"I think that the American people," he added,
"are saying 'Look, do whatever is necessary,
do it all, and do it now.'"
