Many of us were here when FEMA choked harder than San Jose in the NHL conference finals during Hurricane Katrina. Now we get to see how they turned it around, and that is a very good thing.

It's hard for FEMA to help when a mayor is picky about what kind of help he'll allow.

He seriously won't allow any of the now homeless tornado victims to occupy any of the FEMA issued single-wides because he wants to preserve the image of the town.

I agree that they're fugly trailers, but... hey... shelter.

He's seriously more concerned about "image" than, you know, the people of the town who, I presume, are responsible for putting him in office? Come next election, I bet he's out on his ass.
