An early warning system for Kerrville would have cost about $10M. In this 2 year cycle, the state of TX is sitting on a $24B budget surplus. $32B in the cycle before this one. The money has always been there. The incompetent fuckwits in the GOP chose not to spend it.
Oh It’s Worse than that. 3 times over last decade, Kerr’s request for $ 1 Million for flood warnings, was declined. In ‘21, Biden’s ARPA gave Kerr $10M, but Kerr officials spent it on anything BUT flood systems. Why not use $? Read story. Was it To “OWN THE LIBS”? www.snopes.com/news/2025/07...
