in 2005, hurricane katrina erased whole swaths, whole towns off the state's gulf coast. and state republicans did everything they could to get federal disaster relief in motion. they have campaigned on how much help they got for the state ever since. but this year, when politico.com asked chris mcdaniel whether he would have voted for that funding after katrina to help mississippi, he said he could not say for certain. he said "i would have to see the details of it. i really would." that's not an easy vote to cast. chris mcdaniel campaigned for senate for mississippi on the idea that disaster relief after something like hurricane katrina, that would not be an easy vote to cast. it does, however, lead to an easy campaign ad to make for his opponent. >> chris mcdaniel asked if he would have supported mississippi disaster relief after katrina. his first response, "i don't know." that's the same chris mcdaniel who's promising mississippi voters that "i'm not going to do anything for you." sounds crazy, but chris mcdaniel is backed by powerful interests that governor haley ba

pace litigation director at his it legal society hello katrina now if you knew that if the supreme court of canada has previously ruled that these laws prohibiting brothels and public are public communication for the purpose of prostitution and those living on the profits of prostitution they ruled that unconstitutional then why are we now seeing the new or legislation attempting to prohibit. well the government the federal government in canada has tried to find creative ways to get around the decision of the supreme court of canada which did straight down those laws and they've tried to reenact or create new criminal laws that will continue to criminalize adult prostitution in canada but in ways that look different from the laws that were struck down so they're trying to continue with the approach of overall criminalization but to do so in a slightly different way but what we know is that the harms that are created will be the same well the the sex workers are obviously upset about this new law saying it'll make working in the sex industry more dangerous can you tell us how so. well the

keep in mind that this was a problem that affected the ninth ward prior to katrina. storm exacerbated the damage, making it more widespread. historically it's been a neighbour hood that has been difficult to attract investment. >> so if that's a problem, and the after hurricane katrina, is $100 enough to lure people back, or do you have to pay people? >> i think the key aspect in this programme is they are prioritising it for people that live there, in what they call the lot next door programme. it worked well in new orleans, in lake view. more affluent, and it was able to bring more people back after the storm. they chose to buy the lot next door, and they either expanded their existing residences, or built family compounds. i think the belief is that this could spur development in residences in the lower ninth ward, a feeling that if we have more people living there, you'll see businesses come. it has been the hang-up of private investors on the commercial side that there isn't the population down there to warrant a grocery store or other retail options. if they fe
