but the  letters about the dykes were 
addressed in the form of several million  dollars in aid to the region for 
the purpose of dyke upgrading. That money  was never and has yet to be 
accounted for and may never be due to the  destruction of regional 
bookkeeping and computer-generated  records


Ms Tucker:  I distinctly remember during Sept/October 2005 reading in  some 
web site or newspaper article that the funding to repair the levees and  dykes 
allocated years before Katrina were diverted to pay for High Capacity  
Computer wiring in the new Casinos of Louisiana, particularly New Orleans.   The 
logic was that the state could divert the money to build the casinos, which  would 
generate sin money much greater than the federal levee money and they  could 
then repair the levees with the tax from the casinos.    Do  you have any 
validation of this diversion for this reason, and was there ever  any levee and 
dyke reconstruction which came from casino taxes?
