Just don’t sit back and talk about something you know nothing about.I think Kentucky housed alot of those people in that Katrina thing.. Yeah really do believe we did…If this happened in Calif. alot of you wouldnt have a problem would you? God bless you all…..

Good grief, I don’t even know what a ‘relift package’ is! Get your act together, people, and get a plan and move on! Enough waiting on the guvmint to fix yous. You can do this!

Cover the federal portion at least, the Guard.

Need to debrief and find out what went right and what did not work. Slow to respond and early communications break down. If we have to go to Amateur Radio for back up communications we need to get the federal to buy the equipment and get our emergency response people trained. We need something battery backup because in the Katrina storm, 9-11 New York, and this ice storm we know modern communications fail.

Well, if the Casino’s can’t carry the weight, then all Beshear has left, without trimming his excess, is the FEDS.

Good politics. Governor sits on the sidelines during the Primary and General Election, does not endorse BARRACK OBAMA, until the election is near over, but . . .

Beshear wants to be sure our President sets aside some money for his state.

Now, if that were any other politico, especially Lyndon Johnson, then Beshear would be OUT OF LUCK.

THIS GOVERNOR IS ALREADY WORKING ON HIS SECOND TERM & RE ELECTION AND STILL HAS NO HANDLE, ON THE TILL OF THE PROBLEMS THAT EXIST IN REAL TIME.

I agree with Warren.

Why does everyone go running to the federal government when the problems are mostly due to their own lack of preparation or improper planning? Is the Kentucky government so inept to pick up even a portion of the bill, when what we got was just a dusting compared to what states to the north experience. Beshear is such a crock.

Why is it the federal goverment’s responsibility to pay for EVERYTHING?

Is it really that bad elsewhere, or are Kentuckians overreacting to a little snow as usual?

I hope President Obama takes this crisis seriously. Our state government funding is in dire straits as it is.
