Sorry, George, there is more than one politician who did a good job..There
are the Mayor of San Antonio, Phil Hardberger (D) and Governor of Texas Rick
Perry.(R).. We handled the evacuees so well, they are now sending all of
them (13,000)
here to San Antonio..sending them all of them from all points to one common
area...I think this is not fair.. I think that they should be absorbed by
other cities also..I hate to see what this is going to do to San Antonio and
its economical structure...
