Hearings beginning now on C-Span- Michael Brown will be grilled.
Have at it, folks:)
Rep. Rogers (R) Kentucky:
$19 million received by Louisiana for communications for emergency planning. That's more than Massachusetts, etc. Did you see any indication of operable communications?
Brown: No sir. But what I did see was a total obliteration of the infrastructure.
Louisiana is run by crooks. So is New Orleans.
..You have your own agenda, obviously...
..but guess what, we're not buying it!...Surprise!
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!
Then why wasn't it delivered? Why was it taking ordinary folks from alabama to get needed supplies to South MS?
FYI: NOLA phantom cops

Mayor Marc Morial appointed Superintendent Richard J. Pennington to lead the crime reduction efforts in New Orleans in October 1994. Within five months and with the input and active support of the mayor, Pennington launched a massive campaign to fight corruption within the department, including creating a new Public Integrity Division (PID), based separately from police headquarters, whose staff includes FBI personnel.
The mayor and superintendent worked together to raise officers' salaries and hire, within 18 months, some 500 new recruits. Pennington's Plan for Dramatically Reducing Crime in New Orleans stressed the accountability of his officers along with the importance of community policing and the need to improve responses to quality-of-life issues within the city. In 1998, 50 percent of voters gave the police a positive rating in the UNO quality-of-life survey. Three elements that exemplify the approaches used to successfully reduce crime in "the crescent city" are listed below.

Shays was seen on camera just now going over to the LA Black man... whispering.
Makes me think Shays is on the side of the left?
yep, there's the money they were supposed to use for satellite phones.!
LA rec'd $19M for the EXPRESS purpose of inter-op communications from the feds...question: Where did it go?
Gosh, you are dense, aren't you?
The President of the United States did that, not FEMA.
And he did it so he could order FEMA to PRE-POSITION resources before the storm.
Oh Darn .. I missed that one
I love it! I love it!!
I cannot wait to hear about the CASINO!!!
HUH?!?!?
Like there were 500 on the payroll and only 80 actual cops?
Our guys are doing their homework!
Yes, he's one of the 'good guys'.
It doesn't matter where the MS NG was, all states have pacts with other states to use their NG. Alabama sent NG to MS immediately. Go ahead and vote for your dem rep and continue to play your blame game..the truth will prevail
To free up FEMA to pre-position key assets around the projected disaster area.
Isn't FEMA a FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY?
It's not FATAL - Federal Agency That Absolves Locals - state and local governments are still responsible for evacuation planning, execution and intial response. FEMA is a logistical organization, not a law enforcement one, and has no command over the military, NG or Coast Guard.
It's so great to hear this! We have known this since it was all unfolding........about time someone paid attention and researched it. I sure hope it keeps up.
