Bubbles, Katrina, property rights...
From around the wires and public announcements:
- The Washington Post reports on Congressional hearings regarding Katrina contracting. Related text from GAO.
- Via NH&RA, notes on HR 4128 and S. 1313, bills barring the use of state eminent domain powers for economic development using federal funds. (Interesting and perhaps ironic: just maybe the mainly conservative cause of property rights could end up on the same side as the mainly left/liberal cause of permitting poor but homeowning New Orleans residents to return to the famous Ninth Ward...)
- More from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities on what it may take to return low-income Katrina evacuees to decent homes.
- GAO examines the tax-exempt status of credit unions.
- A big toxic-lead case against paint and pigment manufacturers goes to trial in Rhode Island.
- Further from NH&RA: No, Ben Bernanke doesn't believe in the housing bubble.
