The local politicians have managed to turn this into a political circus.
Although not surprising it is disappointing.
The first thing FEMA asked Higgins was, “Is Buffalo in Erie County”?
It sounds like Giambra got to FEMA first and told them to help Erie County first.
The news coverage totally missed this and thought Higgins was pissed because FEMA didn’t know what county Buffalo was in.
The Mayor is pissed because FEMA didn’t contact him first.
Everyone is pissed at FEMA because of the lack of results so far.
