DPS numbers lacking
Brazoria County was "promised" 175 troopers to help the Rita evacuation, but they didn't materialize, according to Kent Burkett, right-hand-man to County Judge John Willy.
KPRC-TV, the NBC affiliate in Houston, interviewed Burkett on the phone about 2:45 a.m. Thursday.
Eventually, 50 troopers showed up to supplement the 23 who are regularly stationed here in The Land Where Texas Began. Or is that The Land That Texas Forgot?
Nothing ever goes according to plan in these kinda situations, but the state shouldn't have "promised" 175 troopers if they couldn't deliver.

Stay safe, Banjo!
They sound like a bunch of spoiled 6 year olds. We don't need the gov't to take care of ourselves. It's nice if they give us some help in exchange for our taxes, but we really can take care of our own needs.
Whine, whine, whine!
