Katrina victims a challenge in census count

tool goes here JACKSON, Miss. -- Leaders in Congress are being asked to alter the way the U.S. Census Bureau counts Hurricane Katrina victims who remain displaced four years after the storm.

Some Gulf Coast advocates are worried thousands of residents will return to the region in the years after the 2010 census, but federal funding states receive based on the count won't follow them.

Moving Forward Gulf Coast executive director Trap Bonner sent a letter this week to U.S. Rep. William Lacy Clay asking him to hold hearings on the issue.

While U.S. Rep. Gene Taylor said he'll support the effort, U.S. Sens. Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker said they don't think an undercount will be a problem in Mississippi.
