Post-Katrina update

The federal government spent $3 million on 4,000 beds that were never used, according to the Government Accountability Office.

While that money went down the hole, FEMA refused to authorize blue roofs for people whose roofs were made of slate, tin, or any other solid material. Fortunately, another agency stepped in to patch the holes in those roofs.

The sheriff of St. Bernard Parish submitted a request to FEMA for as many as 60 security guards over the next three years to patrol several tent cities and trailer sites. FEMA "turned down" his request, saying they never received it.

About 50% of the traffic lights in New Orleans are still not working.

And the Louisiana Insurance Rating Commission has approved a 49% rate increase for the Farm Bureau Insurance Companies. This increase effects 70,063 policy-holders in the state. Another 61,151 customers with a more limited dwelling package policy will experience an increase of 48%.
