Reply #7: There is a real concern about safety

[Mass]

THere us still no current water, sewer, or electricity in NO. Should another tropical storm come, the levees would break again and they dont have any phone system to alert people and there are NO way they have done the environmental studies necessary to be sure that it is safe.

We can understand that some people are eager to go back home, but this is what leadership is about. If Allen is asking for a couple weeks more so that they can secure the situation, Naggin should agree and not call for 100,000 people or more to come back in the city this week.

(some environmental organizations agree with Allen, it is not only the administration).
