Feinstein,
Boxer, And Costa Urge Federal Disaster Declaration And Drought
Task Force
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) TODAY
released the following statement after California Governor Jerry Brown issued a
state drought declaration:
“I applaud Governor Brown’s decision to issue a drought declaration. The
declaration provides the state with greater flexibility to address drought
conditions and lays the foundation for federal disaster assistance through a
presidential declaration.
“This week
Congressman Costa, Senator Boxer and I called on President Obama to approve a
federal disaster declaration as soon as possible and to appoint a drought task
force to work with the state to mitigate the drought’s effects on the state.
Now that the governor has issued the state declaration, I hope the president
will act quickly to approve the federal declaration.”
