CorpWatch: Casualties of Katrina
CorpWatch has a wonderful new report on Katrina. Written by Eliza Strickland and Azibuike Akaba, Casualties of Katrina: Gulf Coast Reconstruction Two Years after the Hurricane
tells the story of corporate malfeasance and government incompetence.
This is CorpWatch’s second report, the first being, Big, Easy Money.
Casualties of Katrina can be read as a PDF (download here) or online by chapters. The report
is broken into three parts: the struggle by ordinary residents to
return home, the major effort to fix the broken Gulf Coast
infrastructure, and finally–what the future looks like for a regional
revival. The report also has a fact sheet that accompanies it, which is also worth a read for some quick bullet points on the state of affairs post Katrina.
