"BROTHER RAY DOES IT AGAIN!"
(and, just keeps on doing it!)
"GO'HED'ON, BROTHER!"
Do you remember New Orleans 'Katrina mayor, Ray Nagin'?
The one that tried to teach 1,200 buses to swim while his citizen's drowned? Once again, he has demonstrated his ability to deal with hard realities. According to 'The New Orleans Times Picayune ' there were 50,000 vehicles ruined in Katrina and abandoned by their owners.
The largest auto crusher east of the Rockies, 'K&L Auto Crushers of Tyler, Texas' offered to pay the City of New Orleans $100.00 per vehicle, .... an estimated "$5 million net to the city." They agreed to bring in 5 to 10 portable crushers, work 6 days per week, and complete the job in 15 weeks. Of course, mayor Nagin knew better how to do the job, and refused the offer saying the city would do the job themselves. It seems that now it will cost the City $23 million to complete the job. The vehicles are still there today instead of being cleaned out 5 Months ago.
Now, lets see if I have this correct. By doing it K&L's way the City of New Orleans would net $5 million. Doing it mayor Nagin's way costs the city $23 million for a net cost to the City of New Orleans of $28,000,000. This is the same mayor that wants 'the United States Taxpayers' to give $50 billion to New Orleans and let him rebuild a "Chocolate City" his way
WITHOUT any oversight or any control. Did you read this correctly, ladies and gentlemen? .... he wants $50 BILLION of your money to rebuild the City of New Orleans .... HIS CHOCOLATE WAY!!! http://www.snopes.com/katrina/politics/carcrush.asp
