Louisiana may have to repay disaster relief grants - WAFB 9 News Baton Rouge, Louisiana News, Weather, Sports: BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
A new audit released Monday by the Louisiana Legislative Auditor says the state could be on the hook for hundreds of millions in disaster relief payback. The money was supposed to help property owners recover from Hurricanes Rita and Katrina.
"The grants come with a covenant," says Legislative Auditor Daryl Purpura. "Whenever you receive the funds you had to re-occupy, rebuild, get insurance and prove to the state that you had done these things."
