    . But the city hasn’t gotten any of the roughly $1 million in federal disaster funds he said it’s owed after Hurricane Harvey. That means less money to flood-proof the local bayou, install bigger pumps or buy and demolish homes that keep flooding.

    “We’re getting into hurricane season,” Owen, a Republican, said in an interview. “It’s going to happen again.”

    Would someone please point to the line in the constitution or bill of rights that requires the federal government to help local communities in a time of disaster, I cannot for the life of me locate it anywhere.

    When a republican mayor is quoted as talking about assistance as being owed to his community we are all doomed to the pains of entitlement forever.

    If it was a “promised reimbursement from the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency” then I can see why he believes it is “owed.”

    Been waiting since 2017 for money they agreed to pay. Last time, my daughter went to the office to pick up the check, the case manager had quit and they had no record of her claim. This is 2021 and still waiting.
