Coordination is an unheard of, unpracticed, unsuccessful technique when initiated amongst federal agencies. Their qualifications for success are so far below private levels that we call them 'A Complete Failure".
I wonder who is going to manage the sewage spouted at this late September meeting? Why hasn't the EPA been notified?
The fires won't be out by then so I view this as a chance to get their lies in line to cover their sorry asses when the final investigation comes. Someone is going to want to know why they spent $100 million dollars when it could have been done for $10,000.
They depend on close cooperation because they will otherwise die.
They are so similar to the military, I'd like to see them turned into an arm of the National Guard. They would be better off, nd wouldn't be subject to fresh-out-of-college, snot nose kids who assume their piece of paper makes them the boss.
These treehugger wannabes are the equivilant of enemy infiltrators. They are the monkey wrench in the gears, the gum in the works. Not the professionals. There is a distinction. When the professionals are allowed the breathing space and freedom to make their own decisions, the different agencies are more than capable of operating with military precision. They have for years, and petty bureaucratic snafus like this one tend to give EVERYONE an undeserved bad name.
