GOP Senators From “Don’t Say Climate Change” FL To Biden Admin: Don’t Let FEMA Run Out Of Relief Money

Florida Politics reports:

U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott wrote a letter to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Deanne Criswell demanding answers on whether FEMA has the resources needed to assist people in Florida and beyond when tropical systems wreak their inevitable havoc.

“It is our understanding that your agency expects the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) to run out of funds by August 2024 and may need to activate an immediate needs funding designation as early as June. We cannot stress enough how devastating this funding shortage would be to hurricane and disaster relief efforts in Florida and across the country.”

Don’t Say Climate Change is a pretty dumb policy for a state that’s about to sink into the ocean but look at who’s in charge of Florida.
