($200,000...Are you serious?) Looting Breaks Out in Wilma's Wake - Yahoo! News
I guess we are too strapped to give anybody money right now, huh? Even Sri Lanka devastated by the Tsunami gave us $25,000. I guess the damage over there isn't that bad if that's all the United States gave. Kind of like "I ain't got it, man. My rent due next week. (Wilma)"
Looting Breaks Out in Wilma's Wake - Yahoo! News: "Fox toured damaged areas on Sunday and said he would ask lawmakers to budget $1.1 billion in disaster relief funds for 2006, in part to help Mexico recover from Wilma. He said his main priority was rebuilding roads and other infrastructure to revive the country's $11 billion tourism industry, which took a devastating blow.
It was unclear when the Cancun airport would be operating again, and many hotels could take weeks — if not months — to repair.
As Mexico's military sent amphibious vehicles and federal police began arriving to keep the peace, the U.S. Embassy dispatched consular officials to shelters to help tourists prepare to leave. The U.S. government also offered $200,000 in aid."
