One of the unaddressed issues with how NC deals with these disasters is how the state legislature develops support for those impacted by the storms. Rep. Mark Pless, from the Canton area, chairs the House Disaster Recovery and Homeland Security Committee. He’s already over it when it comes to providing shelter for the poor folk (and other unfortunate people). https://medium.com/fourth-wave/helene-et-al-teaches-harsh-lessons-2a14aac27706

A good portion of what has befallen the people of the state is because of legislative decisions and priorities askew. But will voters hold them responsible? Ask those in Robeson County about hurricane recovery. Still waiting.
