Sen. Hutchison's Statement on the Administration's Denial of Disaster Declaration for Texas Wildfires
Press Release
Issues: Agriculture and Food
U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) today released the following statement on the Obama Administration's denial of Texas' request for a disaster declaration for rampant wildfires:
"These wildfires have ravaged 2.2 million acres of Texas land, and it is extremely disappointing the administration has denied critical assistance to our state. We've suffered major agriculture and livestock losses and many Texans have lost their homes. We need to equip communities with all of the tools and resources possible to effectively battle and recover from these fires. I am sure the governor will work with the administration to ensure all the requirements are met for timely delivery of this disaster aid."
