Will the governor look into the possibility that for political reasons she’s holding back relief goods? And, if she is, what can he do about it?



For the time being, though, the cleanup remains a long and difficult process. The last thing that is needed here is “The Resistance” trying to score points on the backs of those suffering from the hurricane. The San Juan mayor seems to fall into that category, and FEMA has chosen to just ignore such despicable posturing while important work needs to be done.

The general credited with turning around the government’s response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 said the Trump administration is bungling its efforts in Puerto Rico.


Russel Honore, a lieutenant general named to oversee Katrina operations by then-President George W. Bush, joined a growing chorus of criticism from Congress about the response to Hurricane Maria.


"It’s kind of like Katrina: We got it. We got it. Oh, s--t, send in the cavalry," Honore, now retired from the military, said in an interview Wednesday. "This is a hit on White House decision making."


He said more people and equipment should have been sent to the island in advance of the storm, and the Department of Defense should be given far greater authority over the response.


Only the military has the ability to move supplies quickly onto the island as many ports remain closed, he said -- what he called "expeditionary logistics," a mix of specialized ships, aircraft and other equipment that the National Guard can’t match. Before the storm hit, the federal government should have positioned more personnel in Puerto Rico, he said.
