Gov. Rick Perry and Houston Mayor Bill White on Tuesday separately criticized the Federal Emergency Management Agency's continued hurricane recovery efforts in Texas and Houston.


In a sharply worded letter, Perry protested FEMA's decision to cut recovery funding to Texas, said tens of thousands of Hurricane Katrina evacuees soon will soon be evicted from temporary housing with no place to go and said FEMA has been slow to identify sex offenders and other violent criminals among Katrina evacuees.

He also said in his letter to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, sent one day before Chertoff is scheduled to speak in Houston, that FEMA was treating Texas victims of Hurricane Rita differently from Louisiana victims.

1. Good! My sister who

does not get into to politics the way I do said she saw jeb bush on the other day saying "it was his fault not fema's" and she thought.."whoa fema must be really BAD!"

She said you can tell by what they say that the opposite is true. My son is the same way..I figure there must be a lot of people out there like that who can see right through their Shyte.

2. bush trashed FEMA........

by making it part of the Homeland Security clusterfuck, cutting funding and putting "Brownie" in charge. Mr. "uniter, not a divider" worked his same magic with FEMA as he did with the Iraq war. I thought Perry and 'W' were as thick as thieves? Is there a little tension between "Mr. Good Hair" and 'W' the wonder president? :shrug:

FEMA used to work during the Clinton years, but the neo-con's hatred for all thing Clinton soon fixed that.
