Mayor Calls Texas Sens, Reps Hypocrites

 

First of all, if any Harvey “relief” bill comes loaded with the tens of billions of pork that the Sandy bill did, then I would hope that our representatives would vote against it.

Secondly, if conservative Texans have been forced…and will be continued to be forced…to pay for everybody else’s disasters whether or not they support that sort of thing, then it is entirely reasonable for them to expect federal help when they have a disaster.  You can’t keep taking their money but then call them hypocrites when they want their fair share back.

BTW, I’ve begun my relief effort through an organization far more competent and trustworthy than the U.S. federal government:

    This is how the new babies cry. With social media and instant news as platforms, these types of media whores like Matt Doherty will find any issue to blow apart and bark their views. This guy sure enjoyed wasting the federal money that came Belmar’s way. Does anyone have a list compiled of the most ridiculous Sandy spending that occurred in Belmar?

    Doherty’s slogan in 2014, People Not Politics. Belmar officials all traveled down to Mississippi after Katrina. Fast forward to Texas, no help from Belmar, no compassionate statements. Let Republicans drown works just fine for them this year.

    You’re saying the bill was filled with additional “pork” yet Gov. Christie is saying it wasn’t. What’s the truth?

    Would you trust Belmar’s Mayor or Administration with collection of MONEY to be transported to Rockport, Tx after his Sandy mismanagement fiasco?
