More than two years ago the buffoon Mayor of the City of New Orleans hired this man, who appears to be sleeping, as his Recovery Director; a man who touted his credentials and who was going to bring New Orleans back after Katrina's devastation.
As of today, not one project has begun. Not one public building in New Orleans is operable. The man is never in New Orleans, he is always trotting around the globe with his latest trip being to consult with the Sheiks in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates as to how to grow their country.
His base salary in New Orleans is $150,000 and he gets lots of perks, too. The man has done NOTHING to earn any of it.
He announced yesterday that he may leave the job in January. He still draws a salary as a professor at the University of Sydney, Australia.
I say to him "bon voyage, adios, and good riddance."

May 6, 2009-Recovery Czar told the media he is leaving for Australia on July 1, 2009. He has still done NOTHING for the City and is STILL collecting his salary. I do hope he takes his personal aide, from Australia, who earns $90,000 a year, back to Australia with him. She has also done nothing except stay by his side. Ohhhh, what a mess.
