More first responders have become sick from food-borne or infectious disease caused by the lack of uniform sanitation...Galveston City Council meeting adjourned abruptly without the council extending Thomas' emergency management powers for seven more days. So, Thomas extended them herself.
City Council member Elizabeth Beeton brought up concerns that city workers and first responders were getting access to things like tetanus shots, check cashing privileges and other things no ordinary citizen could get.
You would think that part of a disaster plan would be to provide immunizations to responders before a disaster.
