Agree
Also think people in St Bernard who live outside levee protection were the larger NO vote on increase taxes mentioned in article.  Why should they pay more ???



-------- Original message --------
Orleans and Jefferson "should" be happy to spend some of their money on maintaining St. Bernard's levee protection.  After all, as this article points out, St. Bernard is the first line of defense to protect Orleans and parts of Jefferson.  For too long, when it comes to levee protection for the metro area, St. Bernard has been viewed by the other parishes the same way the British viewed the Irish for warfare - always placing the Irish at the front lines because they were considered "expendable."  Maybe views are beginning to change.
