The Buck Stops here…
If our reform Mayor is really interested in “reform”:http://www.nationalreview.com/dreher/dreher073102.asp he may want to start with NOAH. His first stab at reform was in 2002. We are ready for another stab at Governing the City. And if C.Ray can’t do it what about “Ed Blakley”:http://www.nola.com/news/t-p/frontpage/index.ssf?/base/news-7/1165560510312270.xml&coll=1. In the report last night he said NOAH was something that […]

NOAH and "the file"
“Here is one thing that stuck out in my mind from tonight’s report”:http://www.wwltv.com/local/stories/wwl0721089tpinvestigates.7b03a909.html I think they did a pretty good job of gutting a lot of the housing in the city, Blakely said. Whether their job was absolutely thorough or pristine, I’m not certain of that. Well then perhaps they should consider sharing that information.

Ray Nagin has no clue
The Administration is on “spin cycle”:http://www.wdsu.com/video/16915519/index.html on this one. Contrary to what the Mayor says, or was told to say this house was identified and cleared for demolition over 6 months ago. 3963 Delachaise has been on the city’s demolition radar for a very long time. The city knew 3963 Delachaise was in “imminent danger […]

Delachaise
Yesterday this house on Delachaise “collapsed.”:http://videos.nola.com/times-picayune/2008/07/two_houses_collapse.html The reason I had a photo of it is that it was on an Imminent Danger of Collapse list. So while the City had cited it 4 times as a Health threat and then declared it officially in Danger of Collapse it stood for 7 more months. There seems […]
