That will give them time to clean every thing up for Barry.

Romney visits Lafitte as the Isaac water recedes, meets with Louisiana officials, flood-weary residents
...A Barataria resident, Michelle Chauncey, watched from across the street as the entourage with Romney visited Town Hall. She said Romney's visit did not impress her, and she argued for full-scale levee protection for the Lafitte area.

"We feel like we're forgotten down here," Chauncey said. "We feel like we don't have a voice."

Chauncey repeated a common grievance from residents and leaders of the flood-weary community, arguing newly built barriers protecting more populated locations are sending worse flooding their way. She said she wishes no ill will to other parts of the New Orleans area but that Lafitte deserves protection, too.

"We want to feel like we're a part of the community," said Chauncey, whose raised house stayed above water but became an island and lost part of its roof during Isaac.

Water was receding off most of the roadways Friday but still stood in many yards.

"I want people to feel like they can be safe and not have to start their life over every seven years," Chauncey said.



:think:
I suspect she'll never be impressed by anyone.

I've been to Lafitte. Bought shrimp there. It is in the middle of the swamp. Nothing anyone, with all the money in the world can do about coastal flooding when a tropical storm comes along. It's like the folks living on the beach in Florida. That's the price you pay for living there.
