No Response Cuts
As Alex churns away in the Gulf a state official makes a commitment to fully fund disaster response. There are many things on the budget cutting table right now. Lt. Governor David Dewhurst says funding disaster response isn't one of them. "We need to make sure that we have the resources to respond and that we're funding our first responders." Dewhurst says being able to assist people when they need it the most, in the face of a disaster, is a basic job of government.
