Question:  Was all of the equipment and such replaced after Katrina and was
the cost covered by FEMA?

Just because the fees haven't been increased is no reason to seek an
increase unless parish officials can come up with valid reasons for the
increase.  It is utterly disgusting when you open up the cable bill and see
all of the *fees* you pay each month.
