[StBernard] FIELD OF DREAMS

[Westley Annis]

Wendy,
 
unfortunately, your comments are unfounded.  Environmental testing and long
term protection against any discovery of substances will be in place.  The
school board did the same thing with the Chalmette High location- where a
couple of thousand children attend and have been attending school for a
year.
 
the issue of people without homes verses the park is comparing apples to
oranges.  if we had the ability to take funding for the reimbursement for
recreational losses and move it to individual assistance or public
infrastructure repair, it would be done.  there is a much bigger picture to
the recovery than fits into any one simple sentence.  every aspect of
governmental related functions and services were and are affected in the
recovery and there is no way to separate the subsequent parts of the whole.
 
keep in mind that one news release doesn't make for the whole story.  feel
free to inquire through this medium or call if you would like.
 
Good luck and God Bless,
Craig

What is the parish thinking? Is it me or is this insane...in the oil spill
area they are going to invest 15.8 million!!!!!!! We have people still
without homes and they want a super park. While I think a super park will be
good in the long term, in the oil spill area, it's not. They have just
opened the parish up for every lawsuit imaginable in ten years.
