What ever Happen to good old news reporting and caring about our community we get a 10 sec video clip on flooding an 20 sec about it. Notheing about were to go for help, or who to call.If you spent as much time on the flood as you did on your barbaque in the morning's we would realy be informed.Maybe you can't afford a camera crew or a roveing reporter.I was also on Ritter Dr. and never saw any help of any kind fo those people. We Rely on the media to help put pressure on the local officials,state and goverment. But a 30 sec sound bite dose very little. If you want to be number 1 Then you have to work for it. Interview People Talk to the Mayer. Tell us where What ther are Doing

What about the residents of Ritter Drive?? I was done on Ritter Drive all day yesterday and saw no police patroling at all. There was a gas leak the the gas company came by CANOE, talk about flooding, take a look over there. Are they going to be eligible for FEMA assistance Mr. Christianson?
