On and Off Again Katrina Aid

Add another avoidable disaster to those associated with Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. One would think U.S. District Judge Richard Leon would have known better; trying to force the federal government to explain itself clearly is a daunting task. The judge ruled that FEMA must get better explanations of its decision to cut aid to the 4200 Texas families affected by Hurricane Katrina. He pressed to get the explanation finished by today—but FEMA is appealing the decision and asking for an enforcement delay. The ruling on the delay will not come before the middle of the week at best and by then FEMA will have advised Texas officials of aid restoration and sent out letters to Katrina affected families. Should FEMA prevail in appeals court, they would then have to turn around and tell Katrina victims their wretched luck won again. What a mess!
