Gulf Coast Relief

The money is flowing. U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta today provided an additional $40 million to Louisiana and Mississippi as part of the federal government's commitment to help Gulf Coast states rebuild roads and bridges damaged by Hurricane Katrina. The Federal Highway Administration will immediately advance each state $20 million in emergency relief funds that may be used to repair or rebuild portions of I-10, U.S. 90 and other federally-supported highways and bridges, according to Secretary Mineta. It's about time. Your comment?
