Shades of 1997!

Is this a repeat of the Torres lawsuit vs. the government in the late '90's

with a pricetag for responsibility of "foul-smelling water/diesel-laced
baths and showers. The last I read was in August, 2005 right before Katrina
when Torres promised homeowners $400 per household individual--and we can
surmise that was placed on hold while the Murphy incident superseded that
suit (and St. Bernard Parish couldn't pay its liability because of Big K
(not K-Mart, of course <G>)..

Déjà vu!?
