Online NewsHour: Pass Christian, Miss. Rebuilds After Katrina -- March 20, 2006

A sad look at Pass Christian MS. By some estimates the town has lost 80% of its population.

Online NewsHour: Pass Christian, Miss. Rebuilds After Katrina -- March 20, 2006:
"Some business activity has been restored. One Po' Boy sandwich shop is always busy. A couple of banks are open, and there's a tiny grocery store. But Rizzardi says the tax base has been decimated.

LOU RIZZARDI: Prior to the storm, we had a budget of about $6 million, which translates into about $500,000 a month if you average it out. Currently, we're taking in about perhaps $40,000 a month"
