Oil spill worsens plight of Katrina cottage residents in Mississippi
Pete Yarborough, a trucker left jobless by the Gulf spill, struggles as about 800 households face eviction from state owned Katrina cottages in Lakeshore. Cottages cost 351 dollars to buy but require 23000 dollars to raise, while residents fear losing homes and land.
