Require NOLA contractors to hire locals

http://www.commondreams.org/cgi-bin/newsprint.cgi?file=/news2005/0909-03.htm

Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) and Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH) today sent a letter to President George W. Bush calling on him to sign an Executive Order to require contractors receiving federal Hurricane relief funds to hire locally to the greatest extent feasible and pay them a living wage. Kucinich and Tubbs Jones were joined by 88 Members of Congress, including Congressman William Jefferson (D-LA) and Congressman Bennie Thompson (D-MS).
