But the point is she refused and thus the slow response continued.
She still hasn't ceded control and command to the feds, yet lots is happening even though her command and control is ineffective.
Anyway, I was aiming to have the "8 points summary" or whatever is being built and maintained on that other thread is accurate - the difference of when the offer was extended and rejected is VERY important.
It would have been reasonable for her to reject that offer a week ago, becuase the state may well have been able to handle the disaster. That position is much harder to maintain as of Sept 2nd, after it was clear there was an extended period of civil unrest and the state authorities had shown inability to command and control relief and rescue.
