Last summer, FEMA sent a letter to Sheila Moore saying that it wanted her to return $15,000 in emergency aid money. That's almost an entire year's salary for Moore, who works as a janitor. She is just one of many who received similar letters. Eve Troeh talks with Moore and her attorney about FEMA's complex regulations, which seemingly discriminate against the poor. Originally broadcast April 22, 2007.
