[StBernard] Baker Plan

[Westley Annis]

I agree with you that you should get every benefit that fema can legally 
provide for you, and I know it is not enough to cover your losses. What I 
don't agree with is that people that had flood insurance be excluded from 
the baker plan for that reason. We also had losses that were in excess of 
what our insurance paid, and we are tax payers, parents, in jobs of public 
service, including military. Just don't exclude us. We all know how hard it 
is to save to buy a home, it was hard for us too, just don't exclude us for 
having flood insurance and paying for it for all those years. It did cost a 
lot. But we made room in the budget for that, I also didn't live in a flood 
zone but I didn't trust when the mortgage company told me that so I got 
insurance anyway. You are right, we are all in it together and should all be

included. Good luck to you and your little girl and God bless you.
