So, the Mayor Effectively Did His Thing, eh?

I would refer you to the following, provided by Matt Drudge, from the Louisiana Disaster Plan, Page 13, paragraph 5, dated 1/00:

'The primary means of hurricane evacuation will be personal vehicles. School and municipal buses, government-owned vehicles and vehicles provided by volunteer agencies may be used to provide transportation for individuals who lack transportation and require assistance in evacuating'...

and let me follow that up by linking you to this.

I ask the same as Drudge: WHY DIDN'T YOU DEPLOY THE BUSES DURING THE MANDATORY EVACUATION, MAYOR?...
