Bush Cut Hurricane, Flood Protection Funding to New Orleans 06 June 2005
In fiscal year 2006, the New Orleans district of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers is bracing for a record $71.2 million reduction in federal
funding. It would be the largest single-year funding loss ever for the
New Orleans district, Corps officials said. I've been here over 30 years
and I've never seen this level of reduction, said Al Naomi, project
manager for the New Orleans district... The cuts mean major hurricane
and flood protection projects will not be awarded to local engineering
firms. Also, a study to determine ways to protect the region from a
Category 5 hurricane has been shelved for now. [Please forward this news
