Despite having played a part in the destruction of New Orleans through, at least, benign neglect if not an overt failure to perform its primary responsibility of protecting the citizens, it appears that the Orleans Levee Board has learned nothing. Thursday, we read in the Daily Monopoly that the Board is again spending its time trying to lure a riverboat casino to its property. See story here.

Too bad our Attorney General is too busy to investigate the failures of the Levee Board. The board likely shares at least some of the responsibility for the deaths of more people than a doctor and two nurses at Memorial Hospital.

Perhaps, its just me, but it seems that the Levee Board should have bigger things about which to concern itself. Whatever resources the board has left is as ill-spent on this latest folly as that spent on its “drive-by inspections” and lavish lunches.

One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results.
