Last Friday, there was a ground breaking ceremony at the new 17th Street Canal pump station in New Orleans.
U.S. Senator David Vitter R-LA made some remarks about the flooding during Hurricane Katrina.
Amid heavy press coverage, the Senator blamed 70% the flooding on design mistakes of the canal walls.
And of course, the entity responsible for those mistakes is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
We think this is cool, and we hope the Senator keeps it up.
So we are asking our supporters and others in Louisiana to write to Senator Vitter and urge him to continue this line of talking.
Because we all owe the vetted facts to the survivors of the worst civil engineering disaster in the history of the United States.
