Huffington Post: Hurricane Katrina Recovery Funds Spent On Underused Sewage Plants Posted: 18 Jun 2012 10:30 AM PDT BILOXI, Miss. (AP) — Officials in Mississippi took private property and spent tens of millions of dollars in Hurricane Katrina recovery money on sewage plants that may not be needed for decades, an Associated Press investigation shows. In one case, a legal battle over a small strip of land between an 86-year-old woman, her family and a county utility board has prevented a $20 million sewage plant from connecting with part of its lines. The case raises questions about whether officials rushed to spend recovery money and used bruising tactics to obtain land to build projects that aren't needed now, and may prove to be a burden to taxpayers. After Katrina, $650 million in U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development money was set aside for sewage and water projects in south Mississippi. The biggest slice, about $234 million, went to the Harrison County Utility Authority, which serves the most populated county on the Mississippi coast. It's also where several multimillion-dollar sewage plants are sitting idle or underused. Read More... More on Hurricane Katrina

Such prohibition promotes disrespect for the law and reinforces ethnic and generational divides between the public and law enforcement. Read More... More on Medical Marijuana
