Families flooded by Katrina concerned over grant disparities

Families flooded by Katrina concerned over grant disparities: "Bobby Johnson said he and his neighbors on Clairmont Avenue received the same amount of water in their homes during Hurricane Katrina. But the company contracted by the state to determine the percentage of damage to their homes has given estimates ranging from 42 percent at the Johnson's home to 15 percent at a home six houses from theirs.

'What other process is there?' Mississippi Development Authority spokesman Scott Hamilton asked."
