The agency that regulates Mississippi’s casinos got pillows, stoves, dinnerware and other items meant for Hurricane Katrina victims, according to state records obtained by CNN.
The Mississippi Gaming Commission was among 11 state agencies that received the household items from the state’s surplus agency.
A breakdown of what each agency received shows the commission took a coffee maker, a case of pillows, wash kits, two dual-burner stoves, plates and utensils, two cases of hand sanitizers and 20 five-gallon containers.
Larry Gregory, executive director of the Mississippi Gaming Commission, could not be reached for comment. But an aide, Becky Clark, said the agency is keeping the items “in case of another hurricane.”
The Mississippi Department of Corrections also got 20 coffee makers, 15 tents, four cases of pillows, five cases of men’s underwear and other supplies.
