There's been a common refrain in New Orleans' low-income areas since Katrina: Road Home - the largest rebuilding program in US history - left them worse off than their wealthier neighbors.

New data shows that they were right.

Construction of I95 in Miami required the forcible relocation of over 12,000 residents—nearly 100% of them black. Using eminent domain, the gov't seized buildings across the heart of Miami's black community in Overtown, offering owners well below market rate—and renters nothing.

It’s Saturday and a good time to remind people that in Lafayette Louisiana the Mayor President @JoshGuilloryUSA has imposed a 1 dollar charge for DIGITAL copies of PUBLIC records, but only for MEDIA, amid intensifying scrutiny of his government. And now, ⤵️

Louisiana encouraged small, untested insurance cos to take risky policies away from the state's insurer of last resort. The most enthusiastic participants have gone belly up - yet Louisiana is gearing up to do it again. Important story from @MIKE_FINCH2: https://t.co/dA0MtmqFov

Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon is at Joint Budget, pitching an idea to set up a $20M grant program to help draw insurance companies to write new policies in Louisiana. After the latest major hurricanes, several insurers left or stopped writing new policies. #lalege #lagov

[Gordon Russell @GordonRussell1]
