Initial Katrina Quick Links

From June, 2005, an article about the New Orleans area Corps of Engineers facing their largest budget cut ever. From the article:

... the Bush administration is not making Corps of Engineers funding a priority.

I think it's extremely shortsighted, Landrieu said. When the Corps of Engineers' budget is cut, Louisiana bleeds. These projects are literally life-and-death projects to the people of south Louisiana and they are (of) vital economic interest to the entire nation.
