Hidalgo County Leadership?

So I was watching the news the other day and my curiosity was piqued. The news caster was reporting that the Hidalgo County Commissioners had finally gotten tired of trying to get the federal government to come in an work on our levees. Understanding the concerns since Hurricane Katrina, I was given hope again that maybe there were more then a hand full of elected officials that were doing things in the best interest of the people that elected them. Then the reporter went on... I'm not a infrastructure specialist by any means nor do I claim to know how the county works. That being said, the county commissioners decided to start working on the levees in December, too late to do anything this hurricane season but we can't expect miracles so excusable. What amazed me was that they decided to start in Mission! Like I said there may be more to it, like the need to protect some rich people's property first or something, but it just seems more logical to me to start on the East side of the county because it is closer to the coast. If the levees don't hold in Cameron County and we reinforced our levees on the east of the county, we could save the whole county. If we only get to reinforce the west side first think of all the lives and property that will be lost. Maybe someone in the commissioner's court has been speaking to God and this is what he wants them to do. I guess we should start to be worried when someone on the west side of the county starts building an arc.
