[StBernard] Deadlines

[Westley Annis]

I love how St. Bernard Parish government is imposing deadlines.  How about
us imposing some deadlines on them?  Should we impose deadlines for picking
up abandoned cars?  I'm sure they will say that it is out of there control
and they are waiting for this or for that.  Guess what?  So are many who
haven't done anything with their properties.  Why spend money on a house
that may be mitigated, or is that even a possibility any more?  So many
waiting for the free gutting and now are being told that it probably won't
happen.  Fine.  So a Christian group decides to do it for free - sorry,
numerous road blocks are thrown up.  Does the parish really want everyone
back?  It is beginning to feel that this isn't the case.  How many of the
trailer park sites are filled?  Oh, let's blame FEMA for that.  I'm so tired
of this one pointing at that one and that one pointing back.  What a joke!

I honestly believe this deadline should be extended until after hurricane
season.  Many of "US" will not make this deadline. I want to go back home
but it's taking a long time to get everything accomplished.  I think keeping
our lawns cut should be a major issue, at least it shows we are trying.  
We
have deadlines with FEMA, we have deadlines with insurance companies,
everyone wants to give us a deadline now.  Did we have a deadline Aug.
29,2005? NO! I do understand people living in the Parish have different
feelings and I respect how they feel. But, more thought needs to be put into
deciding about deadlines. If not, I honestly feel more people won't go back
home.  I hope everyone can understand how I feel.
