We need flood relief, not voter suppression.
Warning systems. Emergency funding.
Instead, they gave us a redistricting circus.
We deserve a government that gives a damn.

Did fiscal conservatism block plans for a new flood warning system in Kerr County? In the last nine years, federal funding for a system has been denied to the county as it contends with a tax base hostile to government overspending.

TTT: “We don't want to be bought by the federal government, thank you very much,” another resident told commissioners. “We'd like the federal government to stay out of Kerr County and their money.”

Weather warnings gave officials a 3 hour, 21 minute window to save lives in Kerr County. What happened then remains unclear. Federal forecasters issued their first flood warning at 1:14 a.m. on July 4. Local officials haven’t shed light on when they saw the warnings or whether they saw them in time to take action.
