Will Rita anniversary be ignored?

The nation's focus this week has been on New Orleans. On Wednesday, the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's onslaught, high-ranking public officials visited the Crescent City. Among them were President Bush and candidates who hope to occupy the Oval Office after the upcoming election. They came bearing promises that they will make New Orleans whole again. The national news media flocked to the Big Easy also. Coverage of the still-suffering city was powerful. Hopefully, it will draw the attention of those who can influence the allotment of needed disaster-relief funds.
