What's changed since then? New Orleans now has a conservative
Democrat as mayor and a Republican state governer.

Jindal has already activated 4000 National Guard troops just to be
prepared for disaster relief if needed.

Imagine that. Local elected officials actually taking responsibility
and planning instead of sitting on their hands and waiting for the Fed
to tell them what to do.
