From: "Mark" 

What did I just say, get her out of the way to stop her meddling. She was
just on TV, paraphrasing: "yes the mayor called for a complete
evacuation, but that can't happen until I sign off on it. Right now I'm
waiting for test results to see how contaminated the water is, then we'll
see."

Me thinks a special session of the LA legislature is needed to oust her,
the woman is incapable of making a decision.
