Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Thousands of Astrodome evacuees moving into permanent quarters

More than 2,000 of the New Orleans refugees who fled the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina have already been placed in apartment complexes throughout Houston, and another 2,000 will be moving to new accommodations next week, said Guy Rankin, head of the Katrina Housing Task Force.

Another 8,000 apartments are being readied for the more than 8,000 people still in the temporary Houston shelter, but the Task Force said emptying the stadium by the September 18 target date may not be possible.

...

Offers of apartments have flowed in from Colorado, Florida, New York and Massachusetts, and Continental Airlines has said it would fly evacuees to their new homes, Rankin said.

The Task Force will pay the rent in the apartments for up to six months, and Houston's CenterPoint Energy is distributing vouchers to cover electricity bills for that period.

The Task Force is partially funded by city, county and state governments, but will also rely heavily on private donations sent to the Houston Katrina Relief Fund, Rankin said.

...

Rankin said most of the evacuees from devastated New Orleans seeking the apartments would likely become permanent residents in Houston.

That likelihood was echoed by many of the people who inhabited the Astrodome and Reliant Center complex on Friday.

"We're planning on staying out here," said Michael Williams, 49, a chef who was evacuated from New Orleans' Superdome last week.

The Task Force was also helping the evacuees to prepare to find employment to enable them to take over rent payments after the six months of paid rent runs out.

More ancedotal evidence that New Orleans will have fewer residents when it reopens. These evacuees are also seeing that white Republicans are very compassionate and caring and have done more for them than the corrupt Democrat machine of New Orleans ever did. The meme about racism is being disproved everyday in thousands of ways. This is more bad news for the race hustlers of the Democrat party. Eventually the word will slip out to black Democrats around the country that all the things they have been told about Republicans were not true. These evacuees will be living normal lives that will everyday disprove the race hustler's myths.
