Obama's FEMA: Sucks

From Firehouse.com: Main Street in this old mill town looks about the same as it did the day after tornadoes killed about 250 people across Alabama a year and a half ago: Battered red bricks and broken glass litter the pavement, and the buildings still standing are rickety and roofless.
The entire one-block downtown, still deemed unsafe, remains sealed off by a chain-link fence. City officials blame the Federal Emergency Management Agency, saying the money to demolish skeletons of the old buildings is mired in miles of red tape.
When one request for photos or historical documentation is met, FEMA makes another, the mayor and others in this town of 2,100 say. One crop of workers is replaced by another, forcing locals to constantly explain their problems to new people.
"It's very frustrating," said Mayor Drew Gilbert, a 25-year-old Cordova native who served on the City Council before taking office this month. "You would think it's been touched and seen now by everyone who needs to touch and see it."  http://www.firehouse.com/news/10831402/twister-ravaged-alabama-town-blames-fema-for-stalling
Personally, I would have liked to see the town take down the building themselves.
But FEMA said they would finance the problem with the city and they seemed to have reneged.  It doesn't take rocket scientists to take pictures and determine the buildings are not inhabitable.  If FEMA said they would pay to demolish the buildings, then just do it.
Another great story of Obama/FEMA incompetence.
