This is absolutely unbelievable, and why New Orleans has no real chance.
I am absolutely repulsed by our Mayor.

Mayor Ray Nagin
During the interview, conducted by CBS’ Byron Pitts, Nagin was asked about the city’s slow recovery and the large amount of mess that remains in many of the streets.
Nagin responded by questioning New York’s recovery at the World Trade Center. “That’s alright,” he said. “You guys in New York can’t get a hole in the ground fixed and it’s five years later, so let’s be fair.”
Nagin made the comment after telling Pitts that the majority of the debris on public land had been cleared and that most of the remaining debris was at privately owned homes and businesses that they couldn’t clear without permission. Pitts then responded by pointing out damaged cars in the street and a house washed partially into the street.
Nagin’s interview will be shown in its entirety on 60 Minutes Sunday night.
