A US judge has ruled that negligence by the US Army Corps of Engineers led to massive floods in parts of New Orleans as Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005.

GOP MOM said "Well, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin has done it again. He has come up with yet another way to stick it to the Feds (and the American public). I tell ya', this guy is so good at shifting blame, he should be working for the Clinton's." ______________________________________________________________________
" Submitting a claim for a staggering $77 billion, the city of New Orleans joined tens of thousands of would-be plaintiffs who rushed to beat a Thursday deadline to alert the Army Corps of Engineers that they may sue for losses resulting from the levee breaches after Hurricane Katrina. Also joining the queue were Entergy New Orleans, the city's bankrupt electrical utility, which is seeking $655 million, and the New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board, which put in a claim of about $460 million, spokesmen for the agencies said."
Bill Barrow, Meghan Gordon, Sheila Grissett and Bob Warren contributed to this report. _______________________________________________________________________
New Orleans is mostly below sea level. It would have been flooded anyway.
If New Orleans is going to sue the Army Corps of Engineers for negligence - then New Orleans must sue the Lord for causing Katrina in the first place.
