If you haven't read the Times-Picayune series Washing Away you should.

Just like the damn weather. Everyone talks about and no one does anything about it. Twain

The reporters at the Times-Picayune did something.
There was talk among the journalism folk about how some investigative pieces prompt action and gain attention and others do not, and why that is.

I have a better understanding of why the local evacation was what it is. Thanks for sharing.
