Media and Public Kept Away from Areas Most Devestated by Ike
While we have been focusing on how readers can help Caribbean victims of the hurricanes, close to home, in Texas specifically, the impact on areas like Bolivar and Galveston, is being hidden from the public eye, with more questions than answers, and with a community and country on edge fearing another Katrina like scenario.
XicanoPower, who faced the storm in Texas, is telling us that no one is being allowed in. What happened to the over 1000 prisoners that were left stranded in jail? While reports say that all is well inside, no one has actually been inside.
We are seeking information as to the demographics of these areas as well? Who are these most affected populations?
