Beats me. This is the first disaster where I have reviewed the fed/state relationship and the role of FEMA.
There is always tension between fed and state, that's a good thing. ANd there is always the political reality of politicians putting reelection and control before their constiuents. I just gotta shrug that off, the people get all of the government they tolerate and deserve.
Martinez wasn't Governor during Andrew. That honor went to the Moron Cracker Lawton Chiles, who miraculously got reelected despite the fact that he nearly botched the relief effort until GHWB stepped in.
