What's the new economy of New Orleans?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about what has been done to rebuild the Gulf Coast economy five years after Hurricane Katrina. The region sustained $135 billion in property damage, so how has the economy recovered? Who's benefiting? Who's been excluded? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. How will the BP oil disaster further transform the economy in the Gulf? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Davida Finger, professor of law at Loyola Law School Clinic. She has worked extensively on Katrina cases and policy matters to improve government accountability in rebuilding and on distribution of disaster funds.

Tracie Washington, the president of The Louisiana Justice Institute
