No check but local officials pleased with Barbour meeting: "City officials' attempt this week to persuade Gov. Haley Barbour to give them more of $500 million in Hurricane Katrina recovery money didn't result in a signed check.
'He told us, If you thought you were coming (to Jackson) to get the money, you're not,'' Gautier city councilman-at-large Jeff Wilkinson said.
Still, Wilkinson said the Wednesday meeting with Barbour and a delegation of officials from Jackson County's four cities was well worth it.
'I was pleased with the outcome,' Wilkinson said. 'We feel like our chances are better after the meeting than before.'
Wilkinson joined mayors and city officials from Ocean Springs, Moss Point and Pascagoula who raised concerns about the $500 million Gulf Regional Water and Wastewater Plan."
