Army
Corp involved in "Racial Slurs"
June 18, 2009
Dear Supporter
In a sworn affidavit, a former managing editor of Nola.com, New
Orleans' largest online newsource describes how the Army Corps of
Engineers used significant tax payer resources to attack critics of
the Corps.
According to the affidavit, a cadre of 20 people, for over 3 years,
have hidden their identities and posted comments on the Times-Picayune
affiliate's articles and forums that smeared New Orleanians and
obscured the facts of the Corps of Engineers' responsibility for the
failure of its flood protection.
The affidavit also described how many of the comments "appealed
to racial division and at times engaged in racial slurs against
African Americans."
Levees.org discovered evidence of this activity six months ago, and
early this year submitted a written request to Nola.com/Times Picayune
for all the comments data.
But their lawyer, Neil Rosenhouse of Sabin, Bermant & Gould told
us that, while there is no legal reason to deny us access to the
comments, they still won't give them to us. They cited
"policy."
Don't we, the citizens deserve to know the full extent of the Corps'
unethical behavior?
If you agree, write to Jim Amoss, Editor of the Times Picayune at this
address jamoss@timespicayune.com, and say this:
"I deserve to know the full details on how the Corps of Engineers
has been using my tax payer money to protect its image. I
deserve to see all the comments that came from the Corps'
computers."
You could also leave a message on Mr. Amoss's voice mail by calling
his direct line: 504-826-3475.
In response to this disturbing information, Levees.org has filed a
request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). We
requested all communications between the Corps of Engineers and its $5
million dollar PR firm Outreach Process Partners (OPP) which recently
claimed on its website to play a "fundamental part" of
reducing the volume of negative news stories about the Corps.
The PR firm spoke of "fostering strategic relationships"
with news outlets. The Times Picayune is one of the news outlets
that OPP boasted of "providing media support."
These revelations - the sworn affidavit, and the OPP claims -
are two more reasons we deserve the 8/29 Investigation Act, a truly
independent analysis of the flood protection failures, and the
organizational component, that occurred in August 2005.
My dear supporters, we are winning!
These revelations - and the media attention both have garnered - is
evidence that your ongoing efforts and support of Levees.org are
paying off.

Lot
with yellow border's mitigation fee was $30,361.00, the one to the right was
$15,937.18. The lot on the right looks like it has more plants then the
one on the left. Totally arbitrary and capricious methods use by the
Corp. to evaluate these lots.

Let environmentalists pay for Everglades land
So the St. Petersburg Times thinks it is a "good deal" to
spend $536-million of taxpayer money to purchase perfectly good,
revenue-producing, arable farm land and turn it back into swamp? This at a
time when we are subject to budget cuts for our schools, fire and police
protection and reductions in other necessary programs that our governments are
obligated to provide to us.
I have a better idea and it won't cost a single cent of tax money. Let the
environmental groups that have clamored for this "good deal" buy the
land with their money. Surely, they must have at least 1 million members who
are willing to donate $536 per member for what they deem to be a vital
purpose.
Let them put their money where their collective mouths are for once,
instead of forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for their causes when we can
least realistically afford to. If they want to save the land, then they should
do it.

Could
our County Commissioners Be Next?
Makes
me wonder about the fiduciary relationship between County Commissioners and
FKAA? Why has Mayor Neugent protected his "trusted partners"
at FKAA? Why has the county repeatedly rejected other companies' offer
to complete the wastewater mandate on time and "under" budget?
Where did all the wastewater money go? Why hasn't FKAA completed the sewer
project for the majority of unincorporated county areas in ten years? Who
decided to do Shark Key before doing the heavily populated Lower Keys/Cudjoe
Regional System? Why has FKAA installed only the most expensive systems and
ignored pleas for less expensive systems? Why did the FKAA reject a EPA
grant for sewers? Why has our Congress person voted against stimulus money for
wastewater treatment in the keys? Why has the state not designated
stimulus money for the keys wastewater project like it has done for other
counties?
So
many questions, NOTHING BUT SILENCE.

TALLAHASSEE
— Former Florida House Speaker Ray Sansom and Northwest Florida State
College President Bob Richburg were indicted Friday on a third-degree felony
charge of official misconduct. Sansom, 46, surrendered to authorities Friday
afternoon at the Leon County Jail and was released on his own recognizance. A
state grand jury accused Sansom of misusing his position to benefit the
Panhandle College that hired him for a six-figure job. Richburg, who took a
leave of absence from his college job Friday, was also charged with perjury,
State Attorney Willie Meggs said. Both charges are third degree felonies
punishable by five years in prison and fines of $5,000, as opposed to bigger
fines and longer sentences for first- and second-degree felonies. “If we can
resolve the case through a plea we will do that,” Meggs said. “If we
can’t we will be prepared to take it to trial.”
