FEMA doesn't want trailer park residents to talk to the media


Armed guards call police

Despite the cost, this sentence alone should spark a Congressional inquiry at the very least.

During an interview in one trailer, a security guard knocked on the door, ordered the reporter out and eventually called police, saying residents aren’t allowed to talk to the media in the park.

Are you curious what they are talking about? You should be.

City officials say the Federal Emergency Management Agency spent about $7.5 million to build it — and question why the 30-acre Lake End Trailer Park in St. Mary Parish, with row upon row of shiny new trailers, remains almost empty three months after being built.

“We all wonder why no one lives there. FEMA spent $7.5 million to build it: electricity, gas, water, sewer, a lift-station, roads,” said Morgan City Mayor Timothy Matte. “There’s about 50 more new FEMA trailers in various mobile home parks around town, and no one lives in those, either. It doesn’t really make much sense.”

Waste of taxpayer's money. Make sure you remember. Government spends money on a mostly empty trailer park, then forbids people from talking about it.

Government is not your friend.
