“We are here to announce that relief is certainly on the way,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner. “My hope is that, after this is completed, you will no longer have to rush to get furniture and carpet off the floors when heavy rain is forecast.

I hate to beat a dead horse, but you are talking about a part of the country that supplies 30% of oil, fuel, and energy to America. I don’t think America keeps bailing them out. The whole country will be feeling the effects of what shutting down the refineries will do. The Gulf Coast more than pays its way in the American economy.
