Governor Blanco

Well it would seem that the Republicans will need to try again to come up with an excuse for the disaster that is this Administration's response to Katrina. The right wing and this Administration have been saying loudly that the slow federal response was due to failures on the part of Governor Blanco to ask for aid. Well the Congressional Research Service (CRS), one of the most respected and non-partisan of the Congressional investigative services, has issued a report clearly rebutting this charge.

On September 7 Congressman John Conyers wrote the CRS asking them to investigate the matter and report their conclusions. The CRS issued its report today, read it.
