Kerry's Response to Govern for the Future

Senator John Kerry announced he will introduce a package of legislation to respond to the Katrina crisis.

The proposals cover small business relief, both in the area and help for all small business to cope with rising gasoline prices; creating permanent planning and coordination for disasters, a system of evacuation centers, provisions for housing and expanding the federal YouthBuild program.

The proposals are designed to not only respond to the Katrina crisis, but better prepare for future emergencies. Details are posted here.
