Hurricane Katrina recovery continues at a snail's pace...
FEMA is even slower paying cleanup crews and contractors than it was to respond to New Orleans and environs with help after Katrina.
And it's slowing the slow-going cleanup even more.
From the AP story: "You better hope another storm doesn't hit you. You guys will be under water for six months," said Zach Johnson, a Kansas City, Mo.-area contractor who is suing for about $1.7 million for tree-clearing in 2005. "Everybody got a bad taste in their mouth from Louisiana."
St Bernard parish and still-considerable areas around New Orleans continue to clean up after Katrina struck 2 years ago next month.
More than 1200 people were killed in America's deadliest hurricane in more than a century and Katrina's the most costly in damage.
