Letter to the Editor Times Picayune

St. Bernard owners fed up
Tuesday, April 15, 2008

Re: "Give it up already," Our Opinions, April 10.

The Times-Picayune's recent editorial comments mention only the Florida investors as plaintiffs in the litigation. However, a substantial number of hard-working and commuinity-minded St. Bernard Parish property owners have joined in the lawsuit and the horizon of plaintiffs is expanding rapidly.

It should not go unnoticed that both responsible tenants and quality local homeowners from St. Bernard are suffering the brunt of the parish's oppresive tactics.

Notwithstanding the court's order, tenants continue to receive threats to disconnect their utilities and generally disrupt the modicum of peace available from occupying a refurbished house.

The court's order is intended to protect all those who are plaintiffs in the lawsuit, and that now includes many good St. Bernard Parish citizens who have paid good money to help their community recover.
