Brazoria county now mandatory.

Try again. Nagin made the first evacuation order voluntary when everyone told him it should be mand
he waited a full 24 hours after that to make it mandatory. In his defense, nothing like Katrina had happened before, and he probably thought he had time. And people were not leaving like they should, because they had been through hurricanes before, right? That's what they thought. And by the time it finally sunk in and the evac order was made mandatory, they did not have time to get everyone out, and even THEN people refused to get out. the logistics had become impossible. You refuse to recognize any of that. The timeline said that every time Nagin asked for anything the President responded. Right on site FEMA did not respond as it should to some things, but that is not the fault of George Bush personally.
George Bush ignored nothing. He declared emergencies when asked, he mobilized FEMA, he tried to get state and local authorities to grant the federals more power to take over...you see by separation of power, he HAS to do that. He cannot MAKE the state and local authorities do any thing if they do not wish to. They have to abrigate power to the feds, and they were late in doing so.
But go ahead...blame one single man for a disaster. It is sad, sad that hate is so focused on one single man that it blinds a person to anything else.
In my county, we have been paying
what I call the "right to breathe" tax. Just because we are living, we are taxed for it. It's only $252 a year but only 2 years ago, it was only $10 a year.
The stimulus also isn't helping our area. The little bit of money that came to this county is going for the same things (landscaping, etc.) that Hannity listed. Yet, our school district needs a new roof and more classrooms, so they are raising our taxes another 3.1 mils. We already are the highest taxed district in the county. A $100,000 home pays $1500 in property taxes...at least that was last year. The property taxes go up every year.
Why didn't you appeal the assessment to the county?
If the bank said it was only worth $8k but the County says it is worth $100K, it seems like there should have been an appeal filed with that large of a discrepancy.
I have a friend who is an election judge in the next county over...... sm
And he actually had to ask people to either go home and change shirts or turn their shirts inside out so that the political statements (for one side or the other) could not be read. Isn't there something about no political statements or voter influence within 100 feet of the polling place, or is that on a state by state basis?
No, the big-money bunch in Orange County had
because they PAY him to.
