The AP is reporting:
Massachusetts will seek a federal disaster declaration for the
record-setting snowstorms that wreaked havoc on the state and piled up
what state officials estimate to be $400 million in snow removal costs
and other damage.
Governor Baker planned to send a letter to President Barack Obama by the end
of the week asking for the disaster declaration for 10 counties, an area
encompassing about 250 cities and towns. The letter would be submitted to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, with the final decision on the request to be made by
the president. [This is a no-brainer.]
In what the administration acknowledges is an unusual request, the
state is asking the federal government to treat the several weeks of
storms that began in late January as a single disaster, compounded by
frigid temperatures that prevented any immediate melting.
Global warmists predicted much more precipitation. That was this year. Last year they predicted less precipitation. Whatever. The discussion is closed.
