Do you remember New Orleans ‘Katrina’ mayor Ray Nagan, the one that
tried to teach 1,200 buses to swim while his citizen’s drowned?
Once again, he has demonstrated his ability to deal with hard
realities. According to the New Orleans Times Picayune there were 50,000 vehicles ruined in Katrina and abandoned by their owners.
The largest auto crusher east of the Rockies, K&L Auto Crushers of
Tyler, Texas offered to pay the City of New Orleans $100.00 per vehicle, ‘as is, where is’, an estimated $5 million net to the city. They agreed to bring in 5 to 10 portable crushers, work 6 days per week and complete the job in 15 weeks Of course, mayor Nagan knew better how to do the job and refused the offer saying the city would do the job themselves.
It seems that now it will cost the City $23 million to complete the
job.
The vehicles are still there today instead of being cleaned out 5
Months ago.
Now, lets see if I have this correct. By doing it J&L’s way the City
of New Orleans would net $5 million. Doing it mayor Nagan’s way costs the
city $23 million for a net cost to the City of New Orleans of $28,000,000.
This is the same mayor that wants the United States taxpayers to give
$50 billion to New Orleans and let him rebuild a “Chocolate City” his way
without any oversight or any control.
