reconstruction watch

Here is a link to a very interesting blog that seems to highlight the efforts to rebuild New Orleans, although I have only skimmed the first 2 posts, one discusses the faulty water pumps that were installed by the Army Corps of Engineers, the second addresses the exploitation of immigrant workers brought to the area to rebuild.

The blog can be found here: http://southernstudies.org/gulfwatch/

relatedly, a very interesting article indicating a company that installed faulty pumps, once employed Jeb Bush.
