HUD is falling down on the job, too
Edited on Fri Sep-30-05 10:48 AM by cap
where is the rebuilding effort for all that public housing?

4. See this Democracy Now report on rebuilding NO
"As business leaders and government officials talk openly of changing the demographics of what was one of the most culturally vibrant of America's cities, mercenaries from companies like DynCorp, Intercon, American Security Group, Blackhawk, Wackenhut and an Israeli company called Instinctive Shooting International (ISI) are fanning out to guard private businesses and homes, as well as government projects and institutions.
