When water must be released from these dams, it is routed towards poorer areas where flash flooding will occur. The poorer areas don't pay high taxes, so screw them thats the way the officials see it. do we flood the the wealthy high paying tax payers or do we flood the poorer and lower paying tax folk? Look what happened last week in New Bedford, Massachusetts. 3 foot flood waters flooded downtown New Bedford when the remains of Katrina came through this area on Tuesday morning. I believe we all know the demographics for downtown New Bedford. Enough said. |
