Katrina relief fund to distribute $90 million
Today, December 7 at 1:40 former Presidents Clinton and Bush are announcing who will be the recipients of the $90 million dollars collected for the Katrina fund. $40 million will be given to the governors of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama for non- governmental needs. The $30 million will go out to 30 colleges and secondary schools across the affected states. $20 million will be given to a ministers fund which is administered by an executive committee of clergy. This fund will go to the needing communities and congregations.
It is a great thing what Bush and Clinton are doing here. $90 million dollars is a lot of money but do you think its really going to help that much. Sure it’s an excellent start but when you think about how large the area is Katrina destroyed, it’s not much. Three states were pretty much destroyed. Think about all the money that was put into those states to make them what they were before the hurricane. I don’t know if it’s possible to come back from this sort of loss. It can happen but not anytime soon. Its hard to say what is to be down there but what are your comments?
