Bush Cut Hurricane, Flood Protection Funding to New Orleans 06 June
2005 In fiscal year 2006, the New Orleans district of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers is bracing for a record $71.2 million reduction
in
federal funding. It would be the largest single-year funding
loss ever
for the New Orleans district, Corps officials said. I've
been here
over 30 years and I've never seen this level of
reduction, said Al
Naomi, project manager for the New Orleans
district... The cuts mean
major hurricane and flood protection
projects will not be awarded to
local engineering firms. Also, a
study to determine ways to protect
the region from a Category 5
hurricane has been shelved for now.
