With how corrupt the Louisiana polital machine is, it will be interesting to see how the new Imminant Domain Supreme Court decision will play out in N.O. I predict that big money will find it's way into the pockets of these politicians and alot of N.O. will be condemn as a "blight" to economic survival of the city. You will then see hi-rise condos, hotels and casinos being built in their place. So much for their "disenfranchised constituents." I just read most of this thread, what moron thought LA is a "Red" state? It is about the most liberal and Democratic state in the South.
