The mayor of New Orleans did not leave the city that is correct. He happens to be staying down town in the Hyatt Hotel on a higher floor. Funny how he's not staying with the people in the Superdome?
As for the "conditions"... The other mayor's don't have electricity, running water, or possible homes to live in as well. So what makes the New Orleans mayor soo special? I see the other officials actually living or working in the shelters. They give interviews addressing they need help BUT also give credit where it is due.
There was a reference today that the Mississippi people are getting angry at the people in New Orleans because they are getting more attention and help than they are. I also just saw that the NACP wants a fund set up similar to the 9-11 compensation fund!!! Aparently, the mayor of New Orleans has already contacted them for a complaint. People are still on roof tops!!! And they want FUNDING? What kind of leader is that?
