Mayors work on plans to bring evacuees home
The mayors of Houston and New Orleans are working on ways to get hurricane evacuees home again.
Bill White and Ray Nagin met to discuss everything from housing to transferring jail inmates back to Louisiana.
Three centers will open in Houston to provide information on housing and job opportunities in New Orleans.
White said a Return to New Orleans task force is also in the works.
The mayors also talked about ways to get evacuees arrested in Texas transferred to Louisiana jails.
White emphasized that evacuees who want to stay in Houston are welcome if they get jobs.
