@albamonica For example, “Mrs. Gail,” as she’s known, is hopeful that President Trump’s visit will bring much-needed attention to the community’s plight and, ideally, news of supplemental disaster relief that could help people like herself who remain in “dire need” of assistance. (2/4)
@albamonica Her frustration extends to Congress as well, which has failed to pass comprehensive federal funding for the area. “When they leave the Congress, they can go to nice rides, nice cars, homes, and they all right. They don’t worry about money. We worry about money.” (3/4)
@albamonica Florida lawmakers also hope the trip will prompt the president to agree to fast-track a deal that could pass amid concerns that current FEMA dollars will leave the state and county to foot part of massive cleanup bill. nbcnews.to/2WvCWev (4/4) #NBCNewsThreads #NBConPolicy
