For the most part, they have built their projects the old-fashioned way, with smart management and marketing. The government has created a situation where a private company cannot do anything without the assistance of the certain people in government, not government itself. The new Jazzland theme park in New Orleans East is another example of project in which a select few in government awarded special privileges and funding to a small group of cronies in the private sector. The proposed Automobile Racetrack in New Orleans East also fits that pattern. The people of New Orleans have become insular and complacent, so we get what they ask for - bad government that represents a select few.
Most people just shake their heads and walk away.
Buddha Bubba can ' t do that anymore. He left New Orleans twice before, to live in New York and Washington DC for almost ten years. But he does not intend to give up on New Orleans again. It is now time to stand and be heard. Buddha Bubba asks the hard questions.
