Reps ask HUD to reject port request
In a letter to HUD Secretary Alphonso Jackson released Wednesday night, Reps. Barney Frank of Massachusetts and Maxine Waters of California said the move “would constitute an unwarranted diversion of funds and a disservice to displaced Mississippians still in need of affordable housing.”

HUD spokesman Brian Sullivan said the agency has not received Mississippi’s proposal, which has been in the works for more than a year.
