So the truth comes out? Levee money squandered by NOLA?

[Zero Signal]

So now I here that NOLA was getting the federal funding for the levees, but the boards that take care of each of the individual levees used the money elsewhere, many times for completely unrelated things or things that weren't needed.

Does anyone have any details on it?

To my understanding, that's partially correct, but because they needed to pay contractors and engineers who had began the unfinished work, with interest.

I may be screwing up some of the details there, but the link is to a thread with a couple of articles on the matter.
