Ron Fournier of The Associated Press reported that the Army Corps of
Engineers asked for $105 million for hurricane and flood programs in New
Orleans last year. The White House carved it to about $40 million. But

bill with 6,000 pet projects, including a $231 million bridge for a small,
uninhabited Alaskan island.
