Nagin Exits Louisiana
2005-09-13
By Sher Zieve - Fox News and the Dallas Morning News report that New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin has left the state of Louisiana. Moving to Dallas, TX he has purchased a home in that city and has enrolled his daughter in a Dallas school.
She going to ride the bus to school?
Although Mayor Nagin appeared on a number of Sunday talk shows, including Tim Russert's Meet the Press, he was not questioned about his move and the subject never came up.
Since they couldn't find a way to blame Bush for the move, I'm not surprised

In his first trip to Louisiana since last Wednesday, Nagin flew back to the state on Sunday. He joined President Bush on Monday, as the president fielded questions on the rescue and recovery efforts.
More from NOLA.com:
In a stark reminder of how drastically Hurricane Katrina has impacted the lives of New Orleanians, Mayor Ray Nagin has purchased a home for his family in Dallas and enrolled his young daughter in school there.
Nagin, who spoke with The Times-Picayune by telephone from Dallas, where he has been since Wednesday, said he planned to return to New Orleans on Saturday. He said he will remain in the Crescent City while his family lives for the next six months in Dallas, making occasional visits to his family when possible.
Someone in another blog commented that we don't know why he picked Dallas and not another city in LA. Maybe he or his wife have family there or other ties. Still, being gone from New Orleans that long doesn't show a lot of leadership.

#6  Why Dallas?

Farther inland. Harder for people to find him, weight him down, and chuck him into really deep water.

#1  It's a lot easier to get the school bus drivers to work in Dallas. So, move to University Park, Ray?
