Ray Nagin Never a Dull Moment or a Clue

Ray Nagin is going to New York hat in hand to ask for investment. This the same Ray Nagin who talks of 'Chocolate City' and criticizing New York for rebuilding the Trade Center yet.

Ray Nagin who as much as anyone created the current environment by not executing the very thorough evacuation plan his city had posted on the internet. Ray Nagin who still talks of the staggering deaths at the supporting, when the facts don't play out the way.

Business investment goes where the investors believe they can get the most return on the investment. Human compassion does come into play. If I were a rich person looking to make money on speculation, would I choose to invest in a city that is:
A. Below sea level.
B. Just a category 4 hurricane from being in the same shape.
C. Leads the league in government corruption
D. Show no signs of making corruption and victimology a thing of the past.

For all of his statements he has shown no desire to make New Orleans an environment where law biding citizens can get a fair shake from the hucksters and the corrupt police and politicians.

Here is a suggestion Mr. Nagin. Clean up the government of New Orleans, ask your citizens and leaders to show personal responsibility, and while you are at it demand that your national and local politicians have the same regard for the people that you demand of Washington, (ironically only Republicans in Washington seem to be bad in his eyes) and then investment will follow. Give the businessmen a reason to come there.
