As I read the article's last page, I wondered if McIlwain was stupid or spinning.
When he said, "... they're pulling against a concerted, cooperative citywide effort ..." and didn't say "that will put their homes at the bottom of a lake" he surely had to be one or the other. Because if people with power were trying to sink your home at the bottom of a lake, wouldn't you, all of you, fight like hell?
My first guess was spinning, and the two letter writers just before me tend to confirm it. The folks in Broadmoor are fighting the tight oligarchies and the corruption that have done so much to harm Louisiana throughout its history. Good luck to Broadmoor; I have the feeling y'all are going to need it.
