The impervious duPont heir thinks Governor Markell is wrong to think about people’s safety and their well being, and has criticized the Governor for closing state offices in all three counties today at noon in advance of the hurricane, sending all non essential employees home to prepare for the storm and get to safety if they are under an evacuation order. Here is what the little shit Copeland had to say while wallowing in greedy ignorance:
I’m looking out my office window in New Castle County at 2:00pm, and it is mid-80′s, humid & sunny. I understand that it has just started raining in North Carolina. I recall former Governor Minner pulling a similar stunt, calling a state-of-emergency a good 24 hours before the weather turned. Perhaps due to the road configurations in Sussex County, we should let everyone go this afternoon, but Kent & New Castle Counties seems overkill. Your tax dollars might be at work, but the offices are empty…
All evacuation routes leaving the shore and going north or west are parking lots, and it will take residents still remaining downstate many many hours to reach safety. For those up north, and those downstate not evacuating, they have to prepare their homes and the homes of their loved ones for the storm. That includes the proverbial “batten down the hatches,” taking furniture and other loose items inside, getting gas, food, water and other supplies. The residents of Delaware have to do that today for tomorrow will be too late.
But this unmitigated bastard Copeland thinks the little people should still be working and not preparing. And he would leave thousands stuck in traffic tomorrow when the storm hits if he had his way.
Charlie Copeland, on behalf of the people of Delaware, go straight to Hell and burn.
