The mayor and governor also should have signed the emergency declarations before the storm hit like the president asked them to. That's what Florida does every time a storm approaches and it then establishes the chain of command and allows for the use of gov't troops to preposition themselves. They both did not want to foot the cost if the storm missed so they did not sign the emergency declaration and therefore there was not federal response until after the fact. They also had bogus emergeny evacuation plans which could not be implemented. They are nothing but crooks down there and they're the ones that got these people killed. Not FEMA. Now the mayor wants to rush everybody back into the city so he can collect their taxes and get reelected. What a moron! Unfortunately for Brown, everyone is looking for a scapegoat and he appears to be the one.
