Ok... I read the whole chain, but I don't see any mention of using Katrina contributions for the bus.

We are looking at a short bus with wheel chair ramp $5,000 great shape VFP Katrina Fundhas approved paying for it.

Could this be it?

I don't know the details, for sure, but it's a small group of activists who have been raising money under the guise of "Katrina relief" and using their equipment/buses alternately for their anti-war activism and for their radical organizing in LA. I strongly doubt that they have the slightest separation of "Katrina funds" from everything else that they are doing which has nothing to do with hurricane relief. They need to be thoroughly investigated by the FBI and prosecuted for fraud if this is what it surely appears to be....

See this in the original posting. The underlining was mine.

Their organization has been soliciting donations under the guise of using them for Katrina victims and propose quite clearly above that the approval to spend from these funds to purchase a bus has been assured; re-read the entire post.

Frankly, I don't think a locomotive would help them as they are too far off track already.
