Blanco sitting on $6 million for housing aid
Tags: kathleen blanco, la govKathleen Blanco's Louisiana Disaster Recovery Foundation has received $6 million in donations so far. It was established on 9/2, but it hasn't disbursed any money. She's waiting to appoint a board to handle that:
The foundation's Web site says the fund was established "to help provide immediate assistance."
The governor's press secretary, Denise Bottcher, says the foundation actually is meant to meet more long-term needs…
Bottcher conceded that the use of the word "immediate" could be misinterpreted.
That word is also in bold. In their defense, earlier reports used the phrase "immediate and long term".
