Hillary Clinton Promises More Federal Aid to the Gulf Coast if Elected

Clinton addressed the National Conference of Black Mayors in Baton Rouge

On
Saturday, at the
National Conference of Black
Mayors
in
Baton Rouge, presidential hopeful
Hillary Clinton criticized the
incompetence that she feels marked the Bush Administration response to Hurricane
Katrina.
The Shreveport Times reports on Clinton’s visit to Baton
Rouge
:

Speaking to the
National Conference of Black Mayors, Clinton, D-N.Y., said she was angered when
she saw images of New Orleans residents on their rooftops, begging to be rescued
from the floodwaters that followed the August 2005 hurricane. She said President
Bush’s response, 20 months later, was a display of
“incompetence.”

Baton Rouge is home to
many
refugees from Hurricane Katrina, and Baton Rouge real estate has seen an increase in
value since the Gulf Coast was hit by the storm in 2005.
