Smith: Where is the money?

QR’s Liberal Columnist Glenn W. Smith argues that victims of Hurricane Harvey continue to suffer while state and federal officials hide the money in a game of “Button, button, who’s got the button.”

It’s like a game of “button, button, who’s got the button,” and I’m not talking about Donald Trump’s or Kim Jon Ung’s buttons, however much each wants to brag about the size of his own.

This game is about who is doing what with Hurricane Harvey relief funds while victims continue to suffer.

It seems Gov. Greg Abbott, Land Commissioner George P. Bush and other state officials are in a circle holding hands with some Republican federal officials, but who has the money? Unfortunately, the public, and victims of the hurricane, don’t seem to be in the game’s circle.

The complete column by Glenn W. Smith is in the R&D Department.
