NY's Jerry Nadler was complaining about FEMA post-9/11 !

excerpt:

Legislative Response

<snipping>

Our office also worked closely with FEMA. FEMA funds, of course, paid for the clean up of the debris, which was accomplished very quickly, and I applaud them for that. However, possibly because they had other pressing matters to attend to, they were not nearly as responsive to my constituents as I would have liked. My office had to usher a good number of people through the FEMA process, and open doors for them, simply so that they could get the aid they were entitled to. People should not have to rely on a Congressional office to get the aid they deserve.

A damning indictment of FEMA and the Bush administration's failure to correct problems they KNEW existed at least since 9/11 !!!

BTW, Nadler also tore the EPA a new asshole in this report.
