Good old Haley Barbour. He must have been living in a cave with the rest of the Mississippi government who didn't seem to notice that people were in need of the emergency supplies that were collecting dust in state warehouses. Then again, at his country club and when speaking with friends in Washington, people were doing just fine.
Prisons in Mississippi got coffee makers, pillowcases and dinnerware -- all intended for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The state's Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks took more coffee makers, cleaning supplies and other items.
Plastic containers ended up with the Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration.
Colleges, volunteer fire departments and other agencies received even more.
But the Mississippi hurricane victims who originally were intended to receive the supplies got nothing, a CNN investigation has found.
