She said the state has a shortage of heavy equipment transport trailers,

Gee, you don't suppose that any of their neighboring states that WEREN'T affected by this Bush-caused disaster could send some help, do you?

Nah, gotta blame the Federal Government for EVERYTHING!

I can actually call BS on that. Having served in both the KSNG and Reserves in Dodge City, the National Guard in Kansas has almost always had to contract out equipment movement, usually from the reserves. I spent a week doing just that in 2001 just before and during 9/11. Also if you go on Google Earth you will notice that both Dodge City and Great Bends NG units have equipment there(don’t know how current the images are) also in Dodge(also both Dodge and Great Bend’s Reserve units have HET’s sitting in their yards according to Google Earth), Garden City, and many other fairly nearby towns the KDOT has equipment yards for heavy equipment and trailers for highway repair.

Let’s not forget that Greensburg is not that big of a town and doesnt require that much heavy equipment. Too much equipment would not only become a hindrance but a safaety hazard there.
