From: "Glenn Meadows" 

And as well as STILL obstacles from the Governor of LA standing in the way
(referring to the latest news that she wants to "think about it"
before signing off on the mandatory evacuation, she wants to "test the
water" to see how toxic it is.

Well, how about THIS story:

            EPA Confirms Toxins in Flood Water, Five Deaths Linked

            WASHINGTON  — Floodwaters in New Orleans contain bacteria
associated with sewage that are at least 10 times higher than acceptable
safety levels, making direct contact by rescue workers and remaining
residents dangerous, the first government tests confirmed Wednesday.

            ................

            What more does she want?  To wait to see how many people are
afflicted with rashes and burns from walking in the water?
