My Congresswoman, Corinne Brown, (D) of Jacksonville, Fl. managed to make the Neal Boortz Radio Show today. According to Boortz, it seems that during Tropical Storm Fay, she called one of here old employees, who now works for the City of Jacksonville, to ask that city workers sandbag her property. City workers essentially dropped what they were doing to assist her. They were later called off after citizens in Jacksonville complained.
She defended her actions by saying that she had been in government service for 25 years and she believes when she needs help she should call her government.
Soap Box Ravings believes that since Tropical Storm Fay hit the entire State of Florida including the entire City of Jacksonville that Corinne Brown "abused her power" when she used her position to get "head of the line privileges" from the City of Jacksonville.
I wonder how many other homes were flooded or otherwise damaged while city workers were distracted by her.
Perhaps the city worker who provided the special attention to her should be reviewed to see if he retains his position.
Local TV reported that this incident took place at the height of the storm. The work crew, it is reported also refused to assist a neighbor of Brown's who asked them for assistance.
