So far we have spent billions with billions more to be spent.Like most states we are looking at shortfalls even without this disaster.

Federal Disaster money comes from all states’ contributions.There are no strings and there shouldn’tbe.
Money we sent to the Fed has been used in other states who have had disasters.Why shouldn’t we receive money now when we need it.
THIS is not sucking at the gov’t teat.

Plus there are advantages beyond receiving money to having an area declared a disaster area

I agreed with Perry to not take string laden stimulus money.
This is something entirely different.

Why does the whole state need to be declared a natural diaster area?

Why not just each area that was affected?

As you can see FEMA, has declared several Texas Fire Management Assistance Declarations.
