Today he committed to levee restoration. It's not category 5, and it's not coastal restoration, but it's a positive step, and New Orleanians have hope for the first time in a long time. At least what happened this time (floodwall failure in a Category 2 storm) won't happen again under the new plan of having pumping stations where the lake meets the canals, preventing storm surge from entering the drainage canals.
