Some rats swim away, other rats swim back.

Mayor Nagin had Jeff Thomas walk the plank today. It appears he was fired.

Kenya Smith is back on board to replace him.

Thomas sent out an email announcing his departure earlier.

I wanted to let you know that as of today I will no longer be an
employee of the City of New Orleans.

With the City transitioning from disaster-recovery policy development to
implementation, the Administration is restructuring.

Jeff out, Kenya back in.

I guess this is what passes for recycling in Ray Nagin's administration.
