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.
