Local municipalities are ON THERE OWN for the first 48+ hours..

I understand that. I do. I just think that a bit of decisive and competent local leadership and some elbow grease, as opposed to hand-wringing and buck-passing, might have saved some lives.

**I just think that a bit of decisive and competent local leadership and some elbow grease, as opposed to hand-wringing and buck-passing, might have saved some lives.***

As I've stated before, i believe the Mayor engaged in a massive amount of LAWSUIT AVOIDANCE, and now is completely over-whelmed by events.

The Governor sounds like she is finally growing some stones, but it's about 96 hours too late...

I think when this thing is finally analyzed over the next months and years, it is going to be a case study for municipalities of how NOT to do things...

Now imagine your law enforcement has NO transportation and NO communication network and you have the reality they faced and are facing.
