David Baria and his wife decided to move their family to Bay Saint Louis in the spring of 2004. In this episode, taken from his 2008 interview, he recalls their idyllic life on the Gulf Coast, prior to the arrival of Hurricane Katrina the following year. On August 28, 2005, people began fleeing the Gulf Coast area as Katrina approached. Baria remembers the challenges his family faced as they prepared for its arrival. After riding out the storm at his brother’s home, Baria, his brother and uncle rode down to Bay Saint Louis to survey the damage. It was then he realized their historic home, which had withstood many storms since 1875, had been completely wiped away. They quickly developed a plan to help survivors by setting up a distribution network of water, fuel, food, clothing, medicines and cleaning supplies and then got to work. Unfortunately, just ten days later, Baria’s son was hospitalized with a mysterious illness. The child was in a coma for over a week before succumbing to what turned out to be rabies. The family was determined to remain on the Gulf Coast and rebuild their lives. Baria began attending meetings of local citizen groups concerned with such issues as insurance companies that refused to honor homeowner policies and proposed building codes. He explains how a perceived lack of leadership inspired him to run for the State Senate. David Baria served in the Mississippi Senate from 2008 to 2012 and is currently a member of the Mississippi House of Representatives from the 122nd district.

In this view behind the policy curtain down in Mississippi, David Baria talks with his colleague, Mississippi State Representative Becky Currie. Currie represents something of a frustrating but common political paradox. During their conversation, Currie and Baria find familiar ground as both lament about how exasperating it can be trying to create good policy for their constituents without being a member of the conservative all boy’s club. Too often their voices, and certainly the policies themselves, are ignored entirely because neither one of them is part of the good old boy power structure in Mississippi. However, Currie, who talks about the numerous inequalities women face in the workforce, and certainly the legislature, also happens to be the author of the nations’s most restrictive abortion bill. How can someone acknowledge being frustrated with a process that ignores the voice of women, yet hand that same group of men a piece of legislation that represents the most conservative and restrictive of its kind in the entire United States? This installment of Civil Conversations with David Baria is a fascinating and at times frustrating look at how personal beliefs and emotions, instead of ideals, drive some of the most important policy creation in Mississippi.
