"Katrina Recovery and Local Politics"

Marla finishes the look at New Orleans with an interview with Mika Humphreys. Mika and her family were evacuees after Katrina and came to Knoxville where they were taken in by local businessman Gene Monday. Marla then moves onto to local politics as she visits with County Commissioner Diane Jordan and they talk about the effect the recent term limits rulings may have on her role in local government. Finally, Marla speaks with Cynthia Finch from the Knox County Mayor's office about how she handles the day to day stress of her world. A longer version of Cynthia Finch's interview is available here online where Cynthia and Marla also discuss the recent term limit ruling and how it is affecting Knox County politics.
