Cornyn Unhappy With Obama Regarding Wildfires

Senator John Cornyn is speaking out about the administration’s denial of Governor Rick Perry’s request for a federal disaster declaration for Texas following wildfires.  In a news release, Cornyn said:

“When nearly 7,000 individual wildfires burn through more than 2.2.million acres, result in loss of life, and destroy homes, businesses, farms and ranches across the state,  it’s hard to understand how these conditions don’t spell ‘disaster’ for this Administration. We’ve yet to enter the hottest months of the year and already wildfires have wreaked havoc in Texas – yet our state has not received sufficient federal disaster aid. I will not stop fighting until Texas receives its due attention from President Obama and his Administration.”
