The real red tape was at the state level. Louisiana has a law that doesn't allow out of state doctors from helping in the state without a Louisiana license. The state blocked those doctors from coming in. It took Blanco until all of New Orleans was empty to allow the doctors to come in. But that doesn't stop Chris Shay's from blaming Fema.
Blanco blocked rapid response firefighting teams that are positioned around the nation.
Blanco waited till the day after the storm to activate national guard and didn't ask for outside help.
Blanco blocked Red Cross from handing out food and water to the convention. Anyone calling her a racist?
Blanco has gotten a free pass. Fema will take the heat and the real problem the Louisiana corruption will remain.
Blanco blocked Michigan National Guard and help from Florida.
State agencies blocked volunteer groups with boats from helping out.
Louisiana wouldn't allow pets to be taken, that is a Louisiana law.
The media thinks FEMA has the power to be a federal governor for a state. Chris Shays needs to be defeated. I don't care how bad the dem is get him out of congress.
The red tape is at the state emergency management level.
I have just one request, would the Bush White House wake up and start talking about the red tape at the state level in Louisiana. Explain state rights to the MSM and the Rino's in congress.
Blanco has deep sixed Republicans with her incompetence and Republicans are taking the fall for it.
Just call her Katrina Blanco.
