I would not be surprised. Florida has a long history of political decisions which wind up with a lot p;eople hurt and with exploiters getting away with it.

I think it's a little to early to cite corruption, but certainly not out of the question, local politics are pretty much owned by developers and business interests in the US and strict regulation would cut into their profits. I suspect it was a combination of things, we'll see.

Maybe a perfect storm of all three to have caused such an awful catastrophe.
