So the Kerr County, Texas commissioners refused Federal ARPA funds for emergency warning systems because of “communism” and the result was they killed over 200 people… This is what hate and GOP rhetoric does to your brain. It’s deadly.

Wanna bet they will try to sweep this under the rug and say, "Now is not the time to investigate this. It is too soon." The same excuse that gun rights supporters in congress give after a mass shooting at a school. They will hope the next news cycle will divert attention from this.

Many years ago, my dad lived in Sunrise Beach, MO and the city government didn't want to put in desperately needed sewers because they didn't want to accept federal money to get the job done. So, the septic runoff continued to drain into the lake until saner heads won some elections.

In 2021, the Biden administration awarded Kerr County $10.2 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, which could have been used for flood prevention infrastructure. But commissioners, facing political pressure from conservative residents, opted not to pursue a warning system.
