when jindal called for a state of emergency (thursday?) doesn't that authorize for federal assistance?
if so, where was that federal assistance with salting the overpasses and roads?
seemed pretty ridiculous to have the interstates shut down on major interstates when just a little bit of planning could have gone a long way.
baton rouge was especially a joke with the unpreparedness
what do you think?
Louisiana is as concerned with preparing for ice storms as Chicago is with preparing for hurricane season.

This. We have limited resources and have to use them in the most practical way.

This is going to hurt a little.... But... He's right.
Salting roads is slightly more involved than going to Sams and getting a bunch of bags of Mortons and spreading it out on the road. Why would Louisiana have salt trucks and equipment?
Furthermore, Louisiana drivers are awful driving in rain and it rains more here than anywhere else in the country. You expect them to be competent driving in snow and ice?
