Kentucky Representative James Comer, R-KY, weighed in on the recent flooding during an interview Wednesday morning on NewsNation.
Rep. Comer praised area officials for keeping the public informed, along with utility crews who worked overtime to keep the lights on and water flowing.
Comer said the damage was widespread, hitting western Kentucky and Franklin County the hardest.
When asked about President Trump’s call to eliminate FEMA, Comer said he supported cutting red tape but not the agency itself. He said flood victims shouldn’t have to wait years for help.
“I believe that if you can cut the federal bureaucracy out and get the federal funds to the state, I think the states will be more efficient,” Rep. Comer told NewsNation. “And that eliminates an unnecessary level of bureaucracy. So I would support that. As long as the funds go to the states, you can’t give an unfunded mandate to the states for something like that.”
On Wednesday, April 9, FEMA disaster recovery centers established after February’s flooding reopened as the Commonwealth prepares to apply for more federal aid in response to April’s tornadoes and deadly flooding.
