Glad that you are recognizing that this is happening. How about if we work on preventing more rise (being proactive) instead of continuing to just shell out for the consequences (reactive)? Thank you.

For over 260 years, Fort Mantanzas has been doing fine. Yet all of a sudden, because of the "urgent matter of mitigating the consequences of sea level rise", politicians are freaking out. The reason - Federal & state funding! Politicians looking for money sources for anything.

See level rise due to climate change.

There was a vote today in the house to protect pre-existing conditions. Not important to you?

Just want to let you know that the #TrumpShutdown is preventing NWS and NHC from preparing for the next hurricane season. GOP needs a new candidate for POTUS in 2020.

The NFIP has deficits of >$25bb. The flood program subsidizes private investment & development in high risk property. Flood mapping & rates must be actuarially sound. The number/amount of claims should be limited. No one has died from not having flood insurance.

At our Southern Border, in 2018: 1.7 MILLION pounds of narcotics were seized 17,000 criminals were arrested 6,000 gang members—including violent MS-13 Animals—were apprehended. The Wall in Yuma works well. Stay strong. Find a compromise. Dump Pelosi.

Maybe if you held a town hall meeting, you'd learn even more about the issues faced by your constituents. Of course, with a little work, you'd learn that sea level rise is connected to global climate change and your brain might melt.

You ignore numerous requests for a Town Hall Meeting with your constituents. You claim to serve the people while you hide from the citizens who placed you in office. Exactly what are you hiding from, Sheriff?
