Don't get me started on that. I've spoken with several people who were part of both cleanups and they said the difference between the 2 is night and day. I know that's what it would be like anywhere in Iowa and throughout the midwest. I know a pastor told the congregation on Sunday that people would have to swallow their pride and accept some of the assistance. This is what our tax dollars should be for, to supplement insurance and other forms of assistance when disasters like this happen. Not to be the sole form of assistance in any situation.
