hurricane Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 In an official document they refer to Federal Government as "The Obama Administration"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason p Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I know we're not supposed to get into politics but I wonder if Governer Scott would take the same tone in there was a Republican Presidential administration? And these d-bags wonder how Trump can be leading the in the polls. Don't pounce, I'm a registered Republican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicecast Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Personally, I find the accusatory tone of the EO disappointing. This can't be a partisan issue or nothing will get done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason p Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Agreed, 1000%. Unfortunately everything it seems turns political immediately, only once the political aspect of any situation is hashed out than the true problem is addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I also agree, that's why asked if that's normally how they address the government? The document is almost not believable, based on it's tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Not sure about the accusatory tone of the preamble, but by declaring a state of emergency, he makes available reserve funds for mitigation and remuneration for damages. No prior Governor has enjoyed the scissors they have been caught in with the 'dike will break--or--release & kill estuaries' dilemna that has been decided by the Corps each time. The two rivers and their resources suffer. This year they let the Lake get over 16 feet before they flushed the toilet. The State placed aside funds to restore the natural flow, and that preamble claims the Feds held up their share of the funds. It sounds like Governor Scott got fed up and called the Feds out. He is supporting his State's resources & residents it looks like to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right but unfortunately it's almost always a Partisian issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatsdoctor Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Declaring a state of emergency maybe a necessary decision, Blatantly blaming others is not part of the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
