Ray Nagin, Champion of the Poor
Not.
NEW ORLEANS - Mayor Ray Nagin suspended the construction of FEMA trailer parks in the city after a confrontation between federal workers and homeowners who were outraged that a government trailer park was being built inside their gated community.

The Lakewood Estates trailer park was meant to house 34 single women and their children who were left homeless by Hurricane Katrina, but area residents complained it was too close to their homes.


Wow, there's compassion in action. Gosh, it's a gated community to keep riff-raff like these women and children out! This is a real shame. If these trailers were allowed close to the wealthy, they wouldn't stay in place for years on end the way they have in Florida.
