Mississippi casino regulators got supplies meant for Katrina victims

[Bluebear]

The agency that regulates Mississippi's casinos got pillows, stoves, dinnerware and other items meant for Hurricane Katrina victims, according to state records obtained by CNN.
The Mississippi Gaming Commission was among 11 state agencies that received the household items from the state's surplus agency.

A breakdown of what each agency received shows the commission took a coffee maker, a case of pillows, wash kits, two dual-burner stoves, plates and utensils, two cases of hand sanitizers and 20 five-gallon containers.

Larry Gregory, executive director of the Mississippi Gaming Commission, could not be reached for comment. But an aide, Becky Clark, said the agency is keeping the items "in case of another hurricane."

2. Didn't they get caught already?

I remember that a big chunk of those supplies went to the Bureau of Corrections, among other agencies.

Is this a different incident??

3. This is indeed different, just broke tonight.

Yet another case of being on the take while the needy go without. "We're keeping them in case of another hurricane" my rear end!

These bastards don't even TRY for "plausible deniability" any more.
