Ehrlich Jr. announced. The caregivers were bound for Jefferson Parish - a particularly hard-hit section of southern Louisiana - on two Maryland National Guard C-130s.

Mayor Martin O'Malley is expected to announce today the hiring of a new personnel director who held a similar position in the District of Columbia. Elliott L. Wheelan has also served as personnel director in Kansas City, Mo., and Norfolk, Va., in addition to running a human resources consulting company. Wheelan arrives in Baltimore three weeks after the city received a scathing assessment of its personnel practices from a downtown business group hired to study the system. The study by the Greater Baltimore Committee and Presidents' Roundtable found the city to be inefficient in managing its work force of 15,800 full-time employees.
