The problem for us is "out of sight, out of mind". We are forgotten and there is no way that we have the resources locally to give us the flood protection projects needed for our very survival. I am feeling a little better today about the democrats.

It was an extra F U from the GOP to NYC when they came here. A few days of tear gas, illegal arrests, a traffic nightmare, and millions spent hosting.

I would LOVE the democrats to hold their convention here, but it is not going to happen because we do not have the money to give to the DNC to make it happen.
