    aside from just being despicable and incompetent, the GOP has no incentive to do the right thing

    Does anyone really think the areas where these floods happened will turn against the republicans?

    watch them vote against improving warning systems and disaster response the next time as well, and it will be crickets

    In 2021, the Biden administration awarded Kerr County $10.2 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, which could have been used for flood prevention infrastructure. But commissioners, facing political pressure from conservative residents, opted not to pursue a warning system.

    At an April 2022 meeting, one citizen called the White House a "criminal treasonous communist government," urging the county to reject the money altogether. Others echoed that sentiment, saying they didn't want the federal government's help.

    "We don't want to be bought by the federal government, thank you very much," a resident said. "We'd like the federal government to stay out of Kerr County and their money."

    ****ING MORONS !!!!!

    This is all from Trump's MAGA rhetoric, people making decisions which KILLED kids.

    Obama tried to give them money too for Flood control the local government refused, the stupidity of these people.

    I mean, think of all those parents who lost kids, that they sent to camp, some probably assuming there were plans in case of a flood - and now to find out the county rejected the funds, or redirected them as in the case of the Biden funds away from warning systems......I mean, every single one of them should be held accountable.....

    Are they gonna take that 5m that was in the GOFundMe? Because you know a lot of that money came from Democrats too.
