Interesting and true statement

I have been working with our staff in the gulf and I continue to be amazed at the "rumors" of what is happening there.
Here is some truth though:
FEMA has demanded repayment of $4.7 million of close to 2200 families since they were mistakenly overpaid.
Bayou La Batre has been given almost $1.6 million to haul some of the remaining boats that are "shipwrecked" and up on land, but only if they are salvagable. If not ship owners must pay for this themselves. They hope to move the first boats by the middle of May.
New Orleans is having a mayoral election on Saturday to elect a new mayor going forward.

And finally there remains a large need for electricians, carpenters, plumbers and laborers. This quote sums things up: 'Every movement has its galvanic moment when the world takes notice, and then comes the hard part -- sustaining the effort long enough to make a real difference.'

"I really believe when the hurricane hit it was a galvanic moment," she explained. "Everybody wanted to help. Now's the hard part -- sustaining it long enough to really make a difference in the lives of these people."
