“On Tuesday, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) rejected Perry’s request to declare Texas a federal disaster area.”
In other news, Obama will be in Austin and El Paso next Tuesday. Perhaps those affected by the wildfires might make their feelings on the subject known to President Obama…
What FEMA is doing instead is helping individual fire departments. I expect that’s so Perry won’t be able to divert the funds to his rich friends, if he gets a chance.
