KATRINA FRAUD : GOV. BARBOUR'S NIECE GUILTY

LIKE WE WOULDN'T SUSPECT NEPOTISM AND THIS KIND OF ABUSE OF POWER . . .

How does this man keep on getting rave reviews from "the people" AND the GOP!? Well, that's not too hard for anyone with a brain to figure out. It's the half-brains that can't figure it out.

Barbour and his ilk are alike, plus they're like the rest of their privy group . . . they are a "Gang Of Perpetrators" (GOP). They are thieves: selfish, conniving thieves using their power to wield harm against regular citizens by stealing from them while enhancing their own lives and the lives of their cohorts with their illegally gotten booty.


And now, SIX YEARS AFTER KATRINA, we are still hearing this kind of garbage?


Throw the bums OUT! Put them away, and START WITH BUSH DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY'S ECONOMY AND DEPLETING OUR SAVINGS to give to HIS already RICH BUDDIES. Wake up people of America.

Rosemary Barbour, neice of our illustrious governor, was found to have committed massive fraud against FEMA. This is ONLY a "part" of a larger pattern of this governor's reign over Mississippi and Katrina's devastation of our beautiful coast as well as many more parts of our state.

KATRINA - 6 YEAR MEMORIAL OBSERVANCE 2011

City of Biloxi - via Vincent Creel, Biloxi Newsletter:

Emotional Song, Prayers Mark Sixth Anniversary of Katrina

Ronny Broussard had tears welling in the eyes of some of the hundred or so people who listened to his new song, "I Wanna Come Home," during the city's annual Katrina memorial onservance this morning. Broussard's ode to the spirit of the people of Biloxi was one of the highlights of a 25-minute observance that featured prayers from Bishop Roger Morin of the Catholic Diocese of Biloxi, Rev. Eric Dickey of the First Missionary Baptist Church, Associate Pastor Ashley Austin of First Baptist Church of Biloxi, and Chaplain and Deputy Chief John Jennings of the Biloxi Fire Department.

"They say that the sixth anniversary does not have the importance of the first anniversary, or the fifth or the 10th, but I think every milestone like this is important," Mayor A.J. Holloway told the audience.

"We gather here today to remember what we have been through, how far we've come, and, most importantly, we gather to remember those who were lost in Katrina. We must never forget."

Students from Biloxi High School and St. Patrick Catholic High School read the names of the 52 Biloxi residents who perished in the storm. And it was Broussard's moving rendition of "I Wanna Come Home," which evoked memories of a care-free yet resilient pre-Katrina Biloxi, that closed the observance in somber fashion

RESTAURANTS COMING BACK TO THE BEACHES

From Biloxi to Bay St. Louis, hope is turning into exciting realizations as several restaurants are being built on the beaches that were once decimated and seemingly hopeless of any recovery from Katrina.

Now it looks as if the Mississippi Gulf Coast is spreading her wings and flying to new heights of recovery and restoration.

Though its taken this long to reach this level, this news is truly exciting.

BILOXI MAYOR CUTS HIS OWN PAY

"You have to give this Mayor high marks for doing such an honorable thing, such a helpful thing for the beautiful city of Biloxi. In times like these or any other, it's not often that people in power care enough to do a good and "right thing" such as Mayor Holloway has done. He has always been high on my list of people I admire, but he's just moved on up that list for sure.

_____________
Mayor Holloway Reduces His Salary by Nearly 80 Percent

" 'When City Council members begin reviewing Mayor A.J. Holloway's proposed budget for the Administration Department on Tuesday, they'll notice the mayor has cut his own pay by nearly $90,000.

"Instead of drawing his $115,900 annual salary, Holloway has reduced his city pay by nearly 80 percent to about $27,000 a year.

"To be honest, it's a win-win situation,' Holloway said. 'I've been paying into the state retirement system for nearly 34 years at this point, and tax-wise, it works out better to begin drawing some of my retirement funds -- better for me and better for the taxpayers of Biloxi. This move saves the city nearly $90,000 a year, which is significant in these budget times.' "And, the mayor said, he plans on showing up for work every day, regardless of the pay.

" 'Frankly, I enjoy the work,' Holloway said, 'and we have a great deal more to accomplish. I could go for another six to eight years.' "
