Pumps? What Pumps?

The taxpayers of this state paid $26 million so that this doesn't happen again. Well today we found that that money bought us exactly nothing as this same underpass flooded once again, only this time after only 1.6" of rain.

I hope our new levees perform better than our new "state-of-the-art" pumps.

UPDATE: It turns out that the pumps were not turned on till after the roadway flooded. Is this the kind of efficiency we can expect from government?
