Leaving a Legacy

By N.Y. Dem. Rep. Major Owens - 08/22/06 12:08 PM ET
There are two things that I want to leave as a lasting legacy. First, to highlight that so little is done for the poorest who have suffered from Katrina. They have suffered from hostile acts, such as prematurely closing public housing. I have a bill that I'll be leaving my colleagues as a legacy called the Community Action Homeland Security Mobilization Act. New Orleans will be the pilot project. Then it will be used in other cities to get the poor protected from disasters and acts of terror.
My final bill will be on school costs, repair and modernization for $10 billion.
