Nope, Allen has never had a hurricane hit Virginia while he was Governor. I know - I lived there when he was Gov.
I liked him right up to the "hate crimes bill" and this "go easy on terrorists" thing he signed.
Now that he's signed those two, I'm moving on. He is NO Reagan. Ronald Magnanimus would never have signed such smelly legislation. Allen just cooked his goose, as far as I'm concerned.
And after Allen, the people of VA for some strange reason voted in that jerk, Warner, who has raised property taxes so much, that Richmond has a $3 BILLION with a "B" excess, which Warner (D) decided to NOT give back to the people who paid it but to keep it some sort of "rainy day" fund. That's Dumbocrats for ya.
I am now a former Virginian, although in my heart of hearts, I'll be a Virginian for the rest of my days. Just had to stop living there. Got priced right out of the area, and then driven away by the road rage.
Thanks for clearing up whether Virginia had its own "Katrina"...I guess not...
I just thought his "flip" remark about how "easy" it should have been, was just wrong....my gosh, we are talking land the size of Great Britain that was devasted...and he acted like...no big deal, Bush should have had it handled from minute ONE. huh..
