FEMA comes to town but the city never gets any assistance from FEMA. What happened to the assistance for damages from Hurricane Dolly. If they came the money must have been transfered to the sports park. If the city received money, did it go to Ahumada's bank account, by mistake of course. FEMA likes to have a high profile, but its money or assistance is invisable. We can't expect much from FEMA.
