• Only for natural or man-made disasters
• We don't want to get stuck calling on Washington, a la NY/NJ after Sandy

•  Eliminate "Economic Development" Corporate Welfare.

•  Reduce reliance on Federal Dollars
• Washington is broke, and they weren't a particularly reliable partner to begin with; stop rattling the tin cup.
