Bush promises 7000 troops for hurricane hit states including Florida, Texas:
“The president has said, and I sai바카라d, what a magnificent job카지노 사이트 Governor Scott has done in Texas. Thousands and thousands of federal and state employees have been there, the Red Cross has been there, local sheriffs have been there. That is a disaster area. So I will be absolutely happy to join President Obama at the White House to take in as many federal, state and local heroes to help out in the aftermath of this storm,” Perry said. “You can’t do this by yourself, you have to have our full support.
The Trump administration on Frida바카라사이트y put the rebuilding effort on hold while lawmakers debate a continuing resolution, which requires them to pass a funding measure as soon as possible. The House is scheduled to recess on July 29.
The delay in the storm aid is not unprecedented in recent years for Congress.
In 2009 and 2010, Congress passed spending bills for the Hurricane Sandy-related spending bills but failed to pass legislation for hurricane relief.
In late August, lawmakers voted down a temporary spending measure in order to avoid a government shutdown.
