Refuge in Austin

At first, temporary quarters for those fleeing Lousiana were to be set up in the Toney Burger Center. Now the Convention Center, the Palmer Events Center, and the Delco Center are mentioned as add-ons (and then there's the Brackenridge parking garage). Delco and Toney Burger, though both served by buses, are at the ends of the earth compared with the other two. Downtown or just across the river is the way to go. Perhaps Perry is using this as a distraction from the legislative debacle, but Texas, the governmental entity, along with its component parts, is displaying an amazing amount of generosity, way ahead of other states. There hasn't been much coverage concerning students from Louisiana and Mississippi HBCUs being taken in at Huston-Tillotson. Not many people seem to remember the real Toney Burger or be able to spell the name. There was a really stupid press release from the State about the Lone Star card and other benefits (something along the lines of "just show a driver's license" and we'll sign you up"). If people had driver's licenses and working motor vehicles, they wouldn't be in this pickle. It's astonishing how few personal accounts there are of this experience. News reporters are not on the scene or else seem to write about their personal experiences. Is there no one to interview? It has been reported that photographers are being barred from makeshift morgues.
