Generally speaking, if they are not taking generators with them to an area
that has no power, electric chainsaws or otherwise, they are not really
doing their job.

It is OK to think that but, if you say it to someone else, regardless of
political affiliation, it is also OK for them to wonder if there is some
context missing.

I had also heard that officials were originally giving other organizations
grief for attempting to assist in NC without federal approval.  There was
not much context provided there, either, but I did find that concerning,
much like you found the electric chainsaws concerning.

I saw your message to Ron and had another instance to add.  Several years
ago after a hurricane devastated New Orleans... pretty sure it was
Katrina... the New Orleans and Louisiana officials kept complaining about
the lack of federal response.  It got out that they (Ds) turned down military
assistance from the Bush administration and then were harping on it to make
the administration look bad.

States acting with political alterior motives is unfortunately more common
that we realize.
