Unfortunately you probably got a lot like him. Your city graciously opened its doors to more evacuees than any other, and with the good come the problems too. But I definitely have heard the criminal element is making their way back home.
Here's the Baker bill summary.

I understand our governor's proposed a smaller version with the community block grant money in this week's special session. And that levee consolidation is being opposed locally (there's a news flash).
And that our governor's threatening to veto new offshore oil leases.
I also hear some parish officials from St. Bernard got tired of waiting for FEMA trailers and "commandeered" some.
Sigh. We're a city without much hope and without much to lose, I fear. I just hope it doesn't backfire.
