D'oh! Three years later, Katrina aid unspent

A new report from the long-hapless-but-presumably-reforming Federal Emergency Management Agency shows that two-thirds of the $5.8 billion pledged for hurricane relief in Louisana and Mississippi still hasn't been spent.

As a result, numerous schools, roads, sewer systems and other critical public structures damaged by the 2005 storms remain unreplaced or unrepaired.

I guess the $3.9 billion that wasn't spent wouldn't have stimulated the economy there anyway.
