Governor Blanco creates crazy bureacracy clearinghouse

Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco has established the Louisiana Family Recovery Agency, whose staff members will help families access the maze of government and private funding and aid organizations. The new agency's mission is to relieve the massive frustration people are experiencing as they are put on hold for hours, hung up on by automated systems, rejected by FEMA for invalid reasons, and told they cannot get aid unless they perform activities that are impossible for them to perform.

Between 400 and 500 Louisianians will be hired to staff the Louisiana Family Recovery Agency.
