The Storm, Again – NYTimes.com
“Between 2010 and 2012, House Republicans forced a reduction of 43 percent in the primary grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency that pay for disaster preparedness. That is $1.8 billion that will not be available for evacuation equipment and supplies, communications gear that lets first responders speak to one another, and training exercises. (House Republicans tried to cut $354 million more in this year’s homeland security spending bill, but Democrats restored the money in a conference with the Senate.)”

Please, please, please Army Corp of Engineers, please no shoddy work this time!

PS, your house in NH is a bit spendy. That’s another way a Granite Stater might suggest something leaned towards the gauche side. Which come to think of it, ties in neatly with your Bahamas Swiss Bank Account problem. I don’t think you planned this out for as long and as well as you could have.
