I live in Tioga area. May not have power until September 7. John Bell Edwards will not let out of state power crews in to help restore our electricity because they don’t meet his virus protection standards. These volunteers are offering to do hard work while extra safety protection in extremely hot, humid temps. While JBE and his family are sitting in enjoying air conditioning and running water. This is how so many politicians are now NOT truly concerned about the people in this country. We pay their salaries so they should show us some dignity. JBE. let others help give us back our basic needs of water and electricity. They will be working outside in summer heat where the virus cannot survive.
