Does Gene Taylor Stand With Those Needing Housing Or With Industry And The Port?

Gene Taylor hasn't been shy in the past about his opinions on Mississippi Gulf Coast recovery issues.

(Y)ou can try to throw as much as you can on the backs of Louisianians, but I'm a witness as to what happened in Mississippi. You folks fell on your face. You get an F-minus in my book. Maybe the president made a very good move when he asked you to leave your job.

He also said in a television interview that there needed to be a national registry for sex offenders and insurance company executives.

The biggest issue recently has been the diversion of $600 million in housing funds to the port of Gulfport.

He has been quite open with his opinion on most recovery issues so far. What is his opinion here?

Does he stand with the people of the Coast who still need housing and need it at a price where they can afford it?

Let me know if he's made a public comment on it which I've missed. His is an important voice and his opinion is needed.

  1. Hey you guys! I am happy to see you're still on this. The MSNBC story has been discussed on a few big blogs over the last couple of days. I've got links to them up at my place.

    Also, big story about formaldehyde and doctoring of scientific testing going around. I think A.M. had it yesterday or today, it's been in the WaPo and Salon today.

    I'm working on another post,that needs to get out quickly, so won't have time to comment any more tonite.

    Rock on!

  2. John -- O.k. Got some stuff up and sent you an e-mail. If you think it's good and worth a try, pass it on. If not, would love to have your critique.

    There's a comment to the story A.M. posted about formaldehyde yesterday that you and everybody else who comes thru here need to read. "Trailers unhealthy by design" Perfect example of information that you'll never see in the MSM unless it's a one-time special report that most peopel are going to miss. But if confirmed to be true (I suspect that will be easy), it is absoluetly vital to an understanding of this thing.

    It's that kind of we need to keep an eye out for. Lots of people out there have little bits of information like that and they all need to be put together.

    Sorry for the soliloquy . . . been a long nite.

    Eventually, these two big stories are going to go away as far as the MSM and big blogs are concerned. When they do, I want to start putting those pieces together. But, while this is out there and being discussed, I think it's a good idea to do everything possible to press this issue and hammer these few simple facts into as many heads as we can.

    Sorry for the soliloquy . . . been a long nite.
