And a preliminary Corps analysis suggests that building the levee to real 100-year standards could cost $10.7 billion, a 1,200% increase. Before Gustav, Jindal had convened a science panel to review Morganza-to-the-Gulf, and momentum has been building for an alternative alignment that would protect Houma without cutting...

The president of low-lying Plaquemines Parish declared after Gustav that "one home lost in Plaquemines is one home too many"--which is not a realistic standard.
