NJ Chlorine Leak

Good thing Jersey City is in a Democrat-controlled legislative district. If not, the city (which, being directly across the Hudson River from the World Trade Center, was a major staging ground for the rescue and recovery efforts in the days and weeks after 9/11/01) may not have received the grants needed to help protect its people against things like a leaking chlorine tank that sent "a plume of potentially hazardous vapor into the air" this morning. Part of the city was evacuated (Lincoln Park) and people were told to close up the windows in their apartments and cars.

If the city's residents had been dumb enough to elect a Republican, any emergency preparedness grants would likely have been denied (or just outright ignored) by the attorney general, the governor and the rest of the Trenton Democrats. If you don't know what I'm talking about, my friend at GayPatriot talked about it here and Michelle Malkin wrote a column about it here.
