The big problem is that the storm affected major electric transmission lines. It has destroyed the infrastructure of the state's distribution system,
It's a bad idea for the military to make that decision and usurp the authority that under the U.S. Constitution stays with the governor and local authorities,
We're doing everything in our power to be a good neighbor, ... Our office has been flooded by calls today from people asking what they can do. The best things they can do now is lend a helping hand to those who are in our state to escape the storm, making a donation to the Red Cross disaster relief fund and pray for those who are still trapped.

They expect us to pay 75 cents on a dollar for flu medicine ? that's going to be a tough pill to swallow,
Are we talking the Peabody in downtown Little Rock, or the Motel 6? And who makes that choice?
