Independent Sentinel

No matter what the news pundits would have you believe, it is always, it seems, the independents who decide elections. We are the great un-party. Independents (small "i") are not ideological. Sentinels are watchers. Figure us out.

Katrina housing program on hold


This is beyond pathetic. It is out-right immoral.

Bush doesn't give a damn about those people in New Orleans; never has.

Katrina housing program on hold - Yahoo! News:

WASHINGTON - A federal appeals court told the Bush administration Friday that it does not need to immediately restart a housing program for thousands of Hurricane Katrina victims.

The ruling suspends an order by U.S. District Judge Richard Leon, who said last month that the Federal Emergency Management Agency violated the Constitution when it eliminated short-term housing assistance. Leon said the agency didn't explain its reasoning and provided victims only confusing computer-generated codes to explain its decision.

Under Leon's order, FEMA appeared on track to restore housing payments to families in Texas.
'Maybe we can get this thing jump-started and get these people a roof over their heads before Christmas,' Leon said Monday.
