Sharon Weston Broome waited 5 years to tell 1800 ppl they have to raise their homes

Apparently, FEMA has mandated that 1800 lucky homeowners who spent a month back in August 2016 ripping out wet sheet rock and carpet from their house and then the next year fighting with their flood insurer and FEMA - won a bonus prize of having to just tear the whole thing down bc Federal Government compounded by utter Democrat idiocy.
Sharon Weston Broome has known about this for god knows how long and hasn’t done shite about it. FTR - Ascension Parish did this a few months after the flood when the people rebuilding their houses could have done something about it.
To quote the Advocate:
YES WHAT FOLLOWS IS A DIRECT QUOTE:
Ran out of fricking envelopes. This woman is criminally incompetent. An absolute moron. She’s in a race with Destroya for the bottom.

FEMA rules may require more than 1,800 East Baton Rouge Parish homeowners to elevate their homes or sell them to the government for demolition because of the 2016 floods — but Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome isn't identifying who they are yet.

Robert L. Joyner, an engineer in the city-parish subdivision engineering office, told Dutton that officials had been planning to send out the letters in batches of 300 or so so his small staff could manage the expected rush of questions from residents. But staffers weren't able to hit that target with the first batch of letters.

And the morons in Baton Rouge will re-elect her.

I guess they are waiting for Chauna Banks to tell them how to defraud FEMA again first.

She’s so stupid. Just fricking stupid. She’s too stupid to even Google search her idiot hires it took her 9 months to make.
She lets her nose hang out of her stupid Covid mask and makes her edicts on Facebook Live and sometimes the sound is so bad you can’t even hear her dumb arse.
She’s so stupid. It physically pains me.

I think LP just started disclosing this to some citizens too. Not saying Broome isn’t due for criticism here. She is certainly worthless on most other efforts such as crime.
The interesting thing here to me is the interplay between FEMA, the local governments (both funded by taxpayers) and the tax payers affected. I get that there has to be some standards but the heavy hand of a community not being in the NFIP is ironic in a lot of ways considering who pays for it to begin with.
Will also be interesting to see how the Louisiana delegation in dc deals with this.

Livingston and EBR have both known about it since the flood. Ascension fixed their shite then. It’s discussed in the linked article.
At least Livingston had the decency to admit they fricked up. Sharon Weston Broome is just trying to tell these poor people that her incompetence was for their own good.
If she thought the FEMA rules were too draconian - she could have lobbied for different ones. But she’s too stupid to even know what draconian means. There are other ways she could have handled it but she was too busy looking for Covid Bux and trying to figure out how to spell draconian.
She’s overwhelmed and incompetent. And this is just one example of the dumb shite she does - and a perfect metaphor for her priorities.

No - the instruction will be to lift the house up (raise) or sell. Or at least per the link.
Not sure where these 1800 lucky people are. May the odds be ever in their favor. And make sure to use their right pronouns

So, do you think she’s stupid?

I don’t know anything about Broome, but anyone running against her should use that in their campaign.

My new house flooded in the flood but it’s in st. George so I’m good

She’s already been re-elected.

C'mon now, one does not simply go out to the envelope store to get MORE envelopes.
You people ask too much!

All of this makes me laugh and shudder as a foreshadowing of dumbfrickery that EBR local politics will be in the years to come.
A) officials planned a micro-policy to avoid a minor inconvenience for themselves- a 'rush' of questions from ~.5% of residents.
B) Not only does the micro-policy highlight their laziness re A above and incompetence at maintaining more than 100 envelopes in stock, it also shows that they too fricking stupid to at least try to spin it better.
I don't expect much of local officials, but I would like them to be at least as competent, if not as courteous, as the Chick-Fil-A cashier. Instead we get the McDonalds employee who tells you 'we out of fries!' with an attitude like it's your fault.

Seriously Doogan. Drive down three of the main thoroughfares in Baton Rouge right now.
Acadian
Jefferson Hwy
Essen
Well. Don’t drive. Sit in your car seething with road rage as you try to predict what lane is closed, and why, as you are prevented from escape bc you can neither turn left nor right and the turn lane is blocked for no apparent reason.
Guess whoever TF Joyner is ran out of detour signs too.
SWB is a shitshow.

Time for a class action lawsuit to recover monies lost fixing their homes while govt knew it would have to be torn down.
Out of fking envelopes , what an idiot to even confess that lol. Oh man, I feel for those 1800 victims of stupidity by the whole lot of them.
