Gov. Kelly asks for federal aid for 49 counties
https://www.greatplainsumc.org/files/website/news/flood+2019+-+elwood+ks.jpg?width=600
Gov. Laura Kelly is asking the federal government for assistance recovering from all of the storms and tornadoes and flooding tormenting the state. On Sunday, her office said it sent a request to President Donald Trump, requesting aid for nearly half of Kansas counties.
"Kansas is experiencing damage from severe weather and historic flooding due to extended heavy rain," Kelly said. We are working with our local, state, and federal partners to ensure Kansans have the resources they need at this challenging time.
The Kansas Dept. of Emergency Management has also reached out to other states for an advanced team to help them coordinate interstate requests and mapping the region.
As we work with impacted communities, I want to ensure that every resource is being brought to bear to assist local emergency personnel so we can keep people safe and limit damage to property," Kelly added.
Considering stumpys willingness to work with a liberal governor? May be
it will also consider that kansas still has a lot of donnybots running around...

Those states always deny aid to assist others; those bastards always elected republicans. Each time aid is required the republicans never help. I think it is time for these turds to get what they deserve which is NOTHING. These same lame states require federal funds donated from "blue" states taxes to support their "poor" people. It is time for those poor idiots to stand up and dump their republican masters.
