Katrina Coverage

From this:

Mayor Ray Nagin was back in the nation’s capital Thursday. This time he met with President George W. Bush about the lack of temporary housing in the Crescent City.

Nagin also discussed concerns over the levee protection system, who will pay for its reconstruction and how to create incentives to bring residents and businesses back to the city.

The mayor later said the nation can’t afford to let the New Orleans metro area continue to suffer.

During the meeting, President Bush reassured Louisiana officials that the federal government will not forget its duty to help rebuild New Orleans from the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina.

Mayor Nagin told reporters that he is pleased by the level of federal support, but he’s beginning to see some "Katrina fatigue" on Capitol Hill.
