Faith Hill, Tim McGraw Blast 'Humiliating' Katrina Cleanup

[emmanuelle]

While I'm not big on celebrities using important causes as a soapbox, they are absolutely right. Seven months later, thousands of people are still living in tents. Not only are people without homes, but in the areas where residents are able to return, there is no infrastructure including schools. Those returning are unable to rebuild, because the gov has not yet decided how high houses must be built to withstand the next flood that happens.
There is way too much government involved. Empower the ones on the ground so that they can get on and get things moving, and move these poor people out of the purgatory that they are stuck in. Get those trailers out of Hope Arkansas and move them to MS & LA where they can be used. Finally, somebody please relocate Nagin, so that something constructive can be done, beyond ensuring his personal pension plan.
