as for the tourist stuff needing to be open to help the rest of the displaced new orleans residents get back on their feet, working again, back in their homes, etc, that's a load of bull. that money generated from tourism didn't trickle down to those people before katrina why would it now? good to see that all those casinos and tourist attractions are getting federal money. and because poor people don't own homes and instead rent, they get nothing.
