Related: About this forumHouston, Harris County denied federal funds for flood mitigation projects
This is outrageous. George P. Bush is an idiot and the Texas GOP want to punish the largest Democratic county and city in Texas

Roughly four years after Hurricane Harvey, some area leaders are upset with the plans to distribute federal flood mitigation funds.
Upset is the most polite way to describe where Im at today, said Harris County Commissioner Adrian Garcia.
The General Land Office is set to announce which communities will receive the first round of funding for flood mitigation.
However, Commissioner Garcia said Harris County government and the city of Houston are not on the list.
All of Harris County has been left out of the equation, including the city of Houston, and with the scientists, the engineers that we have, I cant understand that our application would have any challenges, Garcia said.
