Leads Delegation Request for Emergency Snow Removal Funding
Wisconsin’s First District Congressman Paul Ryan, along with the entire Wisconsin Congressional Delegation, today sent a letter to President Bush requesting emergency snow removal assistance for thirteen Wisconsin counties.
The letter details the extreme hardships that the record snowfalls of this winter have caused. Congressman Ryan has asked that the President give prompt consideration of Governor Doyle’s call for federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts.
“Our state and local communities have been overwhelmed this winter with snow removal costs exceeding their budgets in response to the record snowfall and the conditions remain dangerous,” Ryan said. “The situation is serious and I urge the President to respond quickly to this request for Federal help.”
Background:
The request for emergency federal aid for snow removal includes the following counties: Dane, Dodge, Green, Jefferson, Kenosha, Lafayette, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Rock, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha.
