Nagin on Bush's new plan

Times Picayune:

"'Nagin praised Bush's commitment to nearly double an earlier $1.6 billion package for levee repairs and improvements, saying the president had responded to local residents' call for action.

'I want to say to all New Orleanians, to all businesses, it's time for you to come home, it's time for you to come back to the Big Easy,' Nagin said. 'We now have the commitment and the funding for hurricane protection at a level that we have never had before.'"
