the smoking bus
I just got an email from a conservative pal. Seems concerned patriotic citizens are looking into the Bus issue that Ty and the MSM have tried to cover up.
This was found in Google's cached pages and is the meeting minutes for the June 5, 2005 Board meeting for the Orleans Parish School district:
64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:-NDJWqbkSEUJ: http://www.nops.k12.la.us/content/bo...n&client=opera[add "http://" to the front and cut and paste the link]
The discussion included very specific references to discussions with the City over the use of school buses to evacuate the citizens of New Orleans during a hurricane.
Ms. Bartholomew:
If a hurricane should come to the City in order to save the school buses, those assets, the City had asked if we would loan the school buses to be utilized for those persons in New Orleans. A lot of the citizens of New Orleans do not have transportation and have no way of evacuating from the City if a hurricane should come this way
... They wanted to utilize school buses in order to transport those persons out of the City
.He wanted the Board to be aware of what the City is doing with hurricane preparedness and I guess initiate the proceeding for the Administration to start taking steps now before we get on the door steps of a hurricane.
Mr. Sanders:
.. even though it is a City responsibility to plan for emergencies and hurricane preparedness, we need to look at working even more cooperatively or seeking a more cooperative relationship with the City on behalf of the students that we serve. I did talk with Dr. Kevin Stephens in the Health Department of the City. It is our interest to get buses and other vehicles that we may own out of the City in the event it is being evacuated. So those buses should not be empty. It was also his suggestion and call that they should be filled with families and children that may need a ride out of City and may perhaps designate certain high schools in different neighborhoods as staging grounds for families to go to should the need arise for an evacuation.
.In the last two years we had evacuations and with this season it is predicted to be another big one.
Getting out of the City is the best option.
Ms. Bowers: We have been meeting with City entities about the hurricane preparedness and we have talked to them about our buses. We still have not defined how many they want
. I do want to assure you that the School District has worked with the City and worked with other entities within the community over the years when we are facing a hurricane. But we have always volunteered the use of our buses to evacuate citizens.
Ty, please explain and apologise. Time is running out before your defense of this Mayor becomes part and parcel of the coverup.
