[StBernard] Ex-FEMA chief Brown may be hired by ravaged parish

[Westley Annis]

I wouldn't be surprised. The man must have something going for him to have
glommed on coat-tails thus far. Mudpie

	The federal government tried to make Brownie a scapegoat for the
whole 
	Katrina catastrophe. 
	
	Brownie produced documents showing that he requisitioned lifeboats
and 
	supplies pre Katrina and a video tape showing that he warned the
president 
	that this storm would be the one that we all feared. 
	
	After the devastation, when Landrieu was flying over New Orleans,
Brownie 
	was in the parish with our elected government. 
	
	When all is said and done, if he can bring home the bacon and not
cost us 
	pork, why not hire him as a consultant? 
	
	To this date, no one else has stepped up and offered to help
traverse the 
	myriad of rules and regulations that keep hindering our parish's
rebirth. 
	
	If there was someone better that is offering to help, we wouldn't
need him. 
	
	But, If he is the Parish's only option, why not at least investigate
whether 
	he will be an asset or not? As long as there is no cost, why not
find out 
	what he can bring to the table? 
	
	Never turn down help until he can prove or disprove himself as an
asset. 
	
	I'm not saying that I am for or against him, only that he should
prove his 
	worth before the parish tells him that we do or don't need him.
