GCN - General News Update

GCN - General News Update: "As the anniversary date for Hurricane Katrina nears, news reports from around the nation are growing. Most of these stories reviewed by GCN are about the problems in New Orleans, however, there are some reports about the Mississippi Coast. Most reports are acknowledging that the Coast is far from recovery but progress is being made, although very slowly. GCN will continue to post some of these stories on its main page as we have done throughout the period. Local officials say they have been bombarded for weeks from reporters nationwide."
