The New Orleans Levee was a New Orleans–based, American satire publication founded by editor and publisher Rudy Matthew Vorkapic.[a] It printed 25,000 copies monthly. The Levee's tagline was "We Don't Hold Anything Back". The paper targeted area politicians and some non-politicians whom the paper's staff saw as ruining the recovery efforts after the levee failures amid Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.[1][2]
