Not that my vote makes any difference, but I vote NO. I'm sick of seeing my tax dollars flow to people who chose to live in a city built below sea level and in the path of hurricanes.

Interestingly there is virtually no coverage at all of the effects of Hurricane Rita on western Louisiana and parts of East Texas. This storm was literally the largest in the Gulf that satellites had ever photographed and it spread destruction much further inland than Katerina. However, for what ever reasons, the rural nature of the area impacted makes for less dramatic photos and lack of instant crowds of people to tell their tales of woe is my take, the massive negative impact of this storm on hundreds of thousands of people in two states is just a non event.
