The Mayor speaks: (Link is not working. Apologies, Thus, JMO, and he said it.)
Hawai’i County Mayor Billy Kenoi issued the following statement in response to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s denial of the state’s request for individual assistance:
“We are very disappointed in FEMA’s decision to deny the state’s request for individual assistance for the victims of Tropical Storm Iselle. Our residents and families suffered destroyed homes, property losses and many other impacts from this historic storm. For many people, their lives have still not returned to normal, and the federal government must help our communities. We strongly urge Governor Abercrombie to appeal the FEMA decision directly to President Obama. We hope the president will recognize that the residents of Puna need his help, and deserve all the support and assistance that we can give them.”
Well, now we go into "appeal" mode. (SMH).
Again, we take care of our own. Every day of the week, twice on Sunday (as it goes).
When the going gets tough, well, you know the rest...
