Mayor-elect Mitch Landrieu receives 80 policy recs from citizen task forces
~Finally, on flood protection and coastal restoration, task force members said Landrieu should use his bully pulpit to press for 500- to 1,000-year levee protection.
They also called on the new administration to implement a "world-class urban water management system" to reduce levee overtopping and improve drainage during heavy rains, and to institute wetlands conservation programs within the city.
Those are initiatives Landrieu could foster in one of his new mayoral roles: president of the Sewerage & Water Board.
~Editilla Uuuuuuhhhhmmmbrellas~That's it?
Actually, #1 is pretty much what I have dreamed of for the city.
With #2 as the Cabinet Level type person to face down the Corps.
I will say this too, special thanks to all the Task Force members for putting in the dues to draw our dozens.
We also note that Mitch'mo gave Each Task Force only 5 minutes to present all the work they have been hashing through to come up with these recommendations. Perchance we will learn more of what these folks are saying as we enter Hurricane Season.
