Watch investigative reporter to discuss Katrina bus scandal

Tim Shorrock, reporter for the Institute's Gulf Coast Reconstruction Watch project, will be on Houston's Pacifica station 90.1 FM at 5:30 pm today. They're doing a news piece on Tim's explosive investigation into why the fleet of private buses FEMA supposedly had at its disposal didn't get to New Orleans until a week after Hurricane Katrina hit, stranding thousands at the city Convention Center and elsewhere.

You can listen live here -- we'll put up a link after the newscast.
