REGARDING:
“The Blue Angles waste up plenty of money every year flying over the Pensacola Beach,”

Nah, the Blue Angels are a recruitment tool for the United States Navy.. The money is not wasted. Further, they need to continue to practice so they aren’t killed during demonstrations.

FEMA MONEY. The Blue Angles waste up plenty of money every year flying over the Pensacola Beach, the State of Florida should ask for a loan from the Blue Angles. The Fuel Cost and the Cost of the Sheriff Security at the Beach should cover the Flood Damage in the City of Pensacola. Tell the State of Florida to apply for a flood loan from the Blue Angles.

Do ya think that perhaps with all the rain and hurricanes Florida gets and Escambia in particular get that the county would take preventative measures. Such as cleaning out the drainage ditches, cleaning out the sewer openings, removing debris and overgrown grass and treesfrom the creeks that run through the county. But no. The commisssioners would rather file a claim with FEMA to get free money for projects they want done. Meanwhile the private citizen will see his insutance bill increase because he filed a claim. Insanity of course.

REGARDING:
“If we had A demo governor we would have got FEMA money. That is just a fact.”

Like we did when Jeb Bush was governor after Ivan and Dennis and others? No, wait. That can’t be right because Jeb is a Republican. It sure looked like FEMA, though. In fact, FEMA helped recently but only in counties actually hurt by Debby.

Go figure.

I’m very confused. The county vehicles are self insured. (I know this to be a fact) so doesn’t that mean that there is money put aside to cover damages? If I chose to self insure my home/car then I have to have a bond of a certain amount to cover any damages to myself or others.

This will happen at all states with Republican governors. That is the way this administration works. If we had A demo governor we would have got FEMA money. That is just a fact.

Like Bob said,

No more building in Florida:

It is prone to Hurricanes and has lots of flood zones.

My question is what is the advantage of building a jail on a flood plain? Especially one with a basement.

We have life insurance, automobile insurance, medical insurance, homeowners insurance and God knows insurance. We have to pay for that, not the government. We pay just about every kind of tax that they can think of so the government can manage their operations. Now please tell me that they have insurance, and that our taxes won’t go up again.
