Katrina Coverage

In this interview, Mississippi governor Haley Barbour says, among many other things:

- FEMA did more right than wrong
- "Within hours and only a couple of days you already had the vast majority of people who not only were helping themselves, but were helping their neighbors."
- he wants the feds to pay at least 75% of the costs for rebuilding their damaged infrastructure: "Ports, highways, bridges, water, sewers"
- he doesn't "think the cost of relief, recovery and rebuilding [LA] will be anything like [the $250 billion LA wants]."
- MS rebuilding might be well under $50 billion

For some reason, there are two parts in the article where "don’t much" appears where "don’t know much" appears to be the correct phrase.
