CBNO/MAC Positions
on Key Items for 2006 Elections
1. Rebuilding New Orleans Neighborhoods

the issue of where we will rebuild and where we will
not rebuild.
CBNO/MAC believes that virtually
every neighborhood in New Orleans, with the possible

be rebuilt at least in part, in a way that makes
it safer and more vital than it was pre-Katrina. Click
