I chose... wisely

About governor, that is. I have to admit that after voting for Deval Patrick (and being quite hopeful about him)I haven't paid any attention to what he has done or has not done.

But, this impressed me. Not many politicians would think about animal rescue operations when planning disaster preparedness. The situation for animals in New Orleans was just fucking awful. Nice to see some thought going on here in Mass.

clipped from www.boston.com 2 years after Katrina, Patrick to redo Mass. emergency response BOSTON --Two years after Hurricane Katrina highlighted woeful emergency planning, Gov. Deval Patrick is poised to unveil a major overhaul to the state's response plan to a natural or manmade disaster. Katrina also showed the lengths to which evacuees would go to save their pets, or the trauma they faced after losing them. That is prompting Massachusetts officials to include pet planning in its focus on dealing with vulnerable populations.
