FORMER NEW ORLEANS MAYOR RAY NAGIN RELEASING HURRICANE KATRINA MEMOIR
NEW ORLEANS — Ex-New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin is releasing a memoir in June about his experiences dealing with Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and its aftermath.
He sent an e-mail and Twitter notes Tuesday about the book, “Katrina’s Secrets: Storms after the Storm.”
Nagin’s press release says the book will be released June 8 “via Amazon” and will discuss “institutional issues of race and class that secretly conspired to control and slow down the recovery.”
The Times-Picayune reported Tuesday that Nagin said in January he hadn’t decided whether to write a Katrina memoir.
Publicist Pat Heno-Smith did not immediately answer a call and e-mail.
Nagin is perhaps best-known for his desperate public plea to federal officials to “get off your asses and do something” as the city stood under water.

THANKS FOR this post as we must keep the attention on the needs still unnfullfilled in your state from Katrina...
and it my be even better if he does like the mayor of N.Y. and use this desaster as his sole qualifications for becoming president in 2016...
oh, oh, has Nagin gained enough fame, richs and powers to go have an audience with the Pope??? Remember that mayor has had the Pope grant him multi -divorces something taken as divorce is the same thing as women becoming priest in that faith or committing sucide you automatically get excommunitated for this...(rotflmao) (smile)
