"Miss. residents sue over Katrina funds" by Shelia Byrd, Associated Press | December 11, 2008
JACKSON, Miss. - Housing advocates and low-income residents sued yesterday to stop Mississippi from spending a half-billion federal dollars to expand a damaged port rather than replace homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
That was the INTENTION all along, folks!! That's why they let it happen; clear out the coasts for the globalists!!!!
The Mississippi State Conference NAACP, Gulf Coast Fair Housing Center and residents sued the US Department of Housing and Urban Development in federal court. Congressional leaders and others slammed HUD when it approved the state's plan to steer money to the Hurricane Katrina-damaged port despite a lingering housing crisis caused by the 2005 storm.
And that was BEFORE the FORECLOSURE FIASCOS!!!!
Governor Haley Barbour maintains expanding the State Port at Gulfport, the third-busiest container port in the Gulf of Mexico, is key to the region's economic recovery. The storm surge devastated Mississippi's coast, washing away much of the affordable housing.
Three years later, about 6,000 families remain in temporary housing. Housing prices have more than doubled and insurance costs have increased, forcing some to relocate....
And CUI BONO, 'eh?
"They were just leaving us out to defend for ourselves," said Dorothy McClendon, 59, a disabled former state employee and plaintiff in the lawsuit who still lives in a trailer provided by the federal government after being denied assistance through the Katrina housing program. "Most people like myself are low-income, elderly people who own their homes, but don't have no other means."
Trailers? She's living in one of those poisonous trailers?

That's GOVERNMENT HELP for you!
In January, then-HUD secretary Alphonso Jackson said he had concerns about the plan to redirect the money but was obligated to OK the project because of congressional rules.
Congress, the administration, whatever. They all deserve a dunk in the Gulf!
