Not a bible person and not particularly religious, but I know enough and there are a lot of people out there who claim to be of the utmost faith who ought to re-read Galatians 6:7-9 and re-think their world view and life choices.

FEMA cancels tens of millions in Maryland sea-level rise, flooding grants
FEMA canceling a disaster mitigation program is a blow to the flood-prone town of Crisfield and a wetlands restoration effort in South Baltimore.
