In reply to Billcats remark about diverted funds. Here is a report from Anne Carns of the Wall Street Journal, a reasonably respectable publication. I would direct your attention, particularly, to paragraph four. But read the whole article, it is quite enlightening.

Interesting article. A quick read confirms what I had said earlier. No evidence in the article that funds earmarked for levee maintenance were diverted. Did the levee board branch out? Certainly. As the construction of marinas, etc., would directly affect the levee it may well have been appropriate. Not saying that they had their priorities straight, but I won't admit such a claim about most governmental bodies.
Thanks for the confirmation!
