Another TX QOPper with her hand out....

About half of Texans still have issues with their water supply after widespread power outages

https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/21/us/texas-winter-outages-water/index.html



That includes Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price, a Republican, who told CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday that her own home was flooded. She said her insurance will cover the damage, but that might not be the case for other Texans.

"At some point we're going to have to have additional plumbers and resources, but there's going to have to be dollars follow that to help these folks who don't have the ability to pay this themselves ... and that's going to have to come from the federal government," Price said.

There are a whole lot of people in Texas I’d like to see get some sort of treatment.

The system in this state isn’t designed to protect the most vulnerable people. That’s obvious to anyone who is paying attention.

Thank you for the loving concern.
