As we’ve shown you here and here Roger Wicker seems determined to whitewash his record of failing the Coast. This is example #3 of how Roger Wicker failed our Gulf Coast and why for showing such lack of foresight he should not be allowed to serve as one of Mississippi’s United States Senators.
Roger Wicker was the only member of the Mississippi delegation to vote against extending FEMA assistance.
In 2007, Wicker was the only member of the Mississippi House delegation to vote against an amendment to the Gulf Coast Hurricane Housing Recovery Act that would extend FEMA housing assistance for evacuees of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma until December 31, 2007 and provide tenant-based rental assistance upon termination of FEMA housing assistance.
Roger Wicker is no “longtime friend of the Gulf Coast” as he claimed in his first ad.
If you’ve got a suggestion on why Roger Wicker is bad for Mississippi in general or bad for the Coast specifically please e-mail us at cottonmouthblog AT gmail DOT com or leave a comment.
I happen to be from the coast and I have been very happy with Roger Wicker.
ReplyDeleteHow can you expect Ronnie Musgrove to do anything better, when in a trip down to the coast, he never once mentioned the words Katrina recovery or insurance reform. He failed as a Governor and he will fail as a Senator. The state remembers Ronnie to well.
You're comment is quite false.
ReplyDeleteNow then.
You may be happy with Wicker, but it shouldn't be for his work on hurricane recover issues.
Ronnie Musgrove spent countless hours assisting folks on the coast as a private citizen.
He specifically talked about the coast in televised remarks on WLOX.
He chose a slab as his backdrop to demonstrate he understood the continuing problem.
You're info is bogus.
Ronnie did no worse than all the other Governors who served at the time of a national recession.
