In coming back from lunch with a colleague today, we started talking about the economic impact on the state. I didn\'t realize this, but she said 5 pennies of every dollar spent in New Orleans came back to Baton Rouge - compared to the 2 cents on the dollar the city kept to sustain it\'s self. \r\n\r\nAlready, at least one parish impacted by the storm has said it was bankrupt (sorry no link - heard it on the radio yesterday). \r\n\r\nDo the math.
