[SEL] Charity Auction proceeds.

[Judge Tommy Turner]

    I think you're right, more engineers isn't the answer (spoken by one 
who has an undergraduate degree in engineering).  Funding is the issue.  
The corps of engineers stated several years ago that the levees around 
New Orleans wouldn't hold and needed upgrading.  But, Congress didn't 
fund it (spending money on such important things as the study of snails 
in Alaska and the construction of a bridge costing half a billion that 
serves less than 50 residents).  Now all of us will pay for it via our 
tax dollars used in disaster aid and increased insurance premiums.
