This is excerpted from the article, which is about the cleanup of the Liberian Ebola Patient's apartment, in Dallas.
On Thursday, a glitch had stopped the cleanup.
Kasey Bonner, the coordinator for the Cleaning Guys, the company hired to do the job, said its workers were not allowed to enter because the company did not have permission to transport hazardous material by road. “There was no protocol put in place for handling Ebola on Texas highways,” she said.
Mr. Jenkins said Friday evening that local officials continued to lack a state Department of Transportation permit to dispose of the materials taken from the apartment. The materials will be put in sealed plastic barrels on a trailer attached to a truck, and the truck will be stored.
“That sealed truck trailer with the sealed barrels inside of it will be guarded by deputies, until such time as the permitting can be achieved,” he said. “It causes no risk to the public.”
Looks like the below, doesn't it?

I wonder if we’re going to have a chance to look at a bill for all expenses related to this event. I want to see how many government agencies will try to add their two cents (or two million cents). I want to see what their designation is and what function they perform.
Unfortunately, all this bungling is being attributed to Texas, as in the state itself and its Republican leadership. I’ve heard that several times in the past few days.
The truth is that this happened in Dallas, where county (not city, not state) government is in the inept hands of County Judge Clay Jenkins and his county commissioners (including the infamous John Wiley Price before they recently locked him up).
Jenkins is pathetic, yet he is the county lead on anything having to do with disaster response or Homeland Security.
And he makes all us Texans look bad.
If the keystone cops had a biohazard unit...
