While much of what he is saying was/is correct but the way he presented it was out of form and more importantly uncouth. There are ways to tell people to go to hell and have them look forward to the trip. That's diplomacy. While however you have to give him his due and there is something to be said for looking someone straight in the eye and pointing out the elephant in the room!

Or maybe he was trying to redirect where everyone was looking. Totally agree about the handout part but part of gov should be helping during extreme events.
The quote "The City and County... owes you nothing" is interesting. In that case the citizens of the city/county also owe the city/county nothing. Unless the mayor is looking for a handout? So no more taxes in that case, he will have to pay for everything himself! If you take the money from the people, you need to give something back, you whiny freeloading b***h.
Possibly he had let the Civil Defense and emergency systems in his jurisdiction run down to a point where they were useless, so needed some way of covering this up. In that case he was screwed either way. I don't have much faith in politicians, I suspect this one has been a politician for a few years and started believing his and his sycophant's bullcrud.
