Watch how the Vice Chair of the LOST Oversight Committee

could not get information to oversee spending.

"...for buyout, rehabilitation and relocation of flood damaged homes." (but read the fine print at the bottom)

NOTE:

Yet, in 2011 and 2012 the Mayor and City Council 

wanted to extend LOSST, because flood protection was their "priority?"

Consider this when you vote November 5th!
