Looks like the Dem controlled Senate finally did something this session…although, as usual, they are spending our tax money like the drunks they are. I believe this is strictly ceremonial, as the funding would still have to be decided upon. Hopefully Lousiana Governor Lindal can keep New Orleans’ Mayor Nagin from getting his filthy, pocket lining mitts on any of that cash like he did(and is doing) with all the other money the fed has sent him to clean up the catastrophy he helped cause.
