Arizona Legislators Ask Obama to Reconsider Fire Aid
Key Arizona legislators are asking President Barack Obama to reconsider his administration’s denial of the state’s request for federal disaster relief for Yarnell for the Yavapai County community’s wildfire damage.
The joint letter by House Speaker Andy Tobin and Minority Leader Chad Campbell cites the property damage and statements of support from Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency denied Gov. Jan Brewer’s request for a disaster declaration on Friday.
