The economic impact of the big party
Mardi Gras in New Orleans is looking for corporate sponsors for the first time ever and many companies are interested. Some say it's in bad taste to have Mardi Gras while thousands are still homeless, but I think from an economic standpoint it makes sense.
If people travel to New Orleans for the festivities, the money they're flowing into the city makes it worth it - and gets the city's #1 business, tourism, going again. Your thoughts?

I completely agree with you. They need all the revenue they can get to help their cause. Plus, its tradition and who are they to break tradition?
Got to have Mardi Gras. It's the prefect festival to get things started again. People look forward to it every year and will bring lots of money to the city.
