already happening... "A fundraising effort spearheaded by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez to help storm-battered Texans has raised more than $4 million in just a few days. On Saturday, Ocasio-Cortez was on the ground in Texas to celebrate the success of the fundraising effort, which will go to local organizations providing Texans food assistance, homelessness relief and elder care. She was joined by Democratic Texas Reps. Sylvia Garcia and Sheila Jackson Lee, all of whom helped fill boxes at the Houston Food Bank. "When disaster strikes, this is not just an issue for Texans; this is an issue for our entire country," Ocasio-Cortez told reporters. "And our whole country needs to come and rally together behind the needs of Texans all across this state." She added: "That's the New York spirit, that's the Texas spirit, and that's the American spirit." Winter storms across Texas left dozens dead, knocked out power for millions for days and many still do not have safe drinking water." |

| I have also been thinking about how many plumbers they need charles.....and with conditions the way they are, even if plumbers come from other states to help, where will they stay and eat and get around...??? what a conundrum. We don't even have enough trained plumbers right now around the country, its not something young people want to do but its a necessity. And on top of it, going into peoples homes who might have covid! ...wow. In ordinary times this would sure be a good time to recruit some of the unemployed to train them. |

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is working to increase the number of plumbers who can help repair winter storm damage by giving provisional permits to out-of-state plumbers and waiving some fees and examination requirements for plumbers with expired licenses, local outlet CW39 reported. Plumbers have been in high demand as families work to repair the damage to their homes after an unprecedented winter storm caused pipes and valves as well as tanks to freeze and burst. In a press release, Abbott said that 320 plumbers already renewed their licenses as of Friday. The Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners is also coordinating with out-of-state plumbing companies to get plumbers into Texas. Randy Calazans, an employee with One Call Plumbing, told The New York Times that he's been running around from one house to the next sizing up the damage. He said the damage to some homes was so bad they may need to be completely re-piped. However, he said it's difficult to get the necessary tools and products to even make simple fixes. "I'm literally just burning through supplies," Calazans said. Greg Sizemore, a vice president of the Associated Builders and Contractors, told Bloomberg that it could take months for contractors to repair the damage, the full extent of which is not yet known since ice and snow continue to thaw as temperatures in the state start to rise again. Bloomberg reported that insurance companies are also receiving a larger number of calls and it's likely adjusters will be backlogged. Camille Garcia, a spokeswoman at the Insurance Council of Texas, told the outlet that insurers are sending in adjusters from other states to help assess the damage. As families work to get their homes repaired, Calazans told the Times it's important to seek out someone who is qualified and was appalled at some of the work he's seen in the past. "You don't just want anybody doing plumbing," he said. |
