As President Trump visits today, frustrated Florida panhandle residents are still waiting for post-Hurricane Michael federal aid. - albamonica (1/4)
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. — It’s been seven months since Hurricane Michael wrecked Gail Philyaw’s house here, but she still can’t quite bring herself to call the government-provided trailer she now lives in “home.”
“They aren’t out here. They’re up there in A/C. When they leave the Congress, they can go to nice rides, nice cars, homes, and they all right. They don’t worry about money. We worry about money,” she said, standing outside her mobile home in the sweltering heat. “We’re struggling. Day by day.” Two Republican senators sent a letter to their colleagues pushing for a vote as early as this week. “We see no reason to delay it any longer,” Sens. Rick Scott of Florida and David Perdue of Georgia wrote. “We should demonstrate to the American people that in times of natural disasters, Washington can still work.”
“After Hurricane Michael, President Trump ensured that nearly $1.4 billion was provided to affected regions, and he oversaw a FEMA response effort that removed 36 million cubic yards of debris, helped 36,300 survivors with home repairs and rental assistance, and provided other needed aid," McEnany said."Following President Trump's example, Democrats need to stop playing politics and put funding for devastated states first.
