| New Orleans Mayor no Giuliani |
| Thursday, September 01, 2005 |
The leadership skills of New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin have been put to the ultimate test this week, a test some critics say he is failing as his storm-ravaged city descends into chaos, violence, looting and despair.
The New Orleans Times-Picayune's Web site has become a clearinghouse for residents of the Crescent City to communicate with their neighbors, and many are taking the opportunity to express frustration with their mayor.
"Where are you?" one person asked on the Web site. "Be a man and take care of your people."
Another person said he liked Mr. Nagin but wondered, "Where is command central? Can we get some sort of plan, any plan, other than busing the refugees from dome to dome?"
"On television this week, the mayor has shown no clear inclination to take charge and direct post-Katrina rescue and recovery efforts for his population, as Mayor Giuliani did in New York after 9/11," wrote Nicole Gelina, a columnist for New York's City Journal......
Emergency Management response starts at the local level folks, the Mayor did not implement the city's emergency plan properly and that is one of the biggest reasons why things were in total chaos. The govenor of Louisiana is the second reason why that chaos resulted. Both these leaders FAILED to lead. You'll see evidence of that posted soon folks.
