Washington, June 16, 2010 | David Popp ((202) 225-6405)
Today, Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) sent a letter to Craig Fugate, Administrator for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), asking him to expedite the review of Governor Strickland’s June 9th request for federal disaster relief in the wake of deadly tornados that touched down in Wood, Fulton, and Ottawa Counties on June 5th.   A copy of the letter can be found here.  

“As these small rural communities struggle to put their lives, homes, and businesses back together, I respectfully ask that you, and your colleagues at FEMA, expedite the review process in an effort to help move the healing and rebuilding along at a reasonable pace,” Latta stated in the letter.

This is Congressman Latta’s fourth letter to the Obama Administration in support of federal disaster relief for Wood, Fulton, and Ottawa Counties.  Copies of those letters can be found here.
