Politics
I was disappointed, but not surprised when Nagin was reelected. I was hoping they might elect Landrieu who is at least intelligent and knows the system. I think it was a close election. The city as well as the state has a history of electing people more on the basis of their flamboyance than on ability. After the general fumbling of the ball after Katrina, I had a little hope that might change.
I used to watch the city council meetings when I was a New Orleans resident. If you've ever watched Jerry Springer...it was a lot like that.
I am not very informed as to the current police situation. But I know there has always been corruption there.
