Now here's an update on rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina. Some Louisiana lawmakers want a special session of the state legislature. Among other urgent matters, they want to bail out of the state-run property insurance company. One question is how quickly this happens and another is who gets the credit. The Democratic government could call a special session in December. Republicans want to call that session sooner.
