LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced on Tuesday that she had requested a 100 percent federal cost share for state and local clean-up.


"I’ve been across our state since Friday, surveying damage, meeting with survivors, and discussing recovery efforts with local leaders, emergency personnel, and volunteers. It’s clear that the cost to clean up the damage those storms created will be substantial," said Governor Sanders. "The federal government is currently covering 75 percent of all costs incurred during our recovery process, but that arrangement must go further to help Arkansans in need. Today, I’m asking the federal government to cover 100 percent of all our recovery expenses during the first 30 days after the storm."

11. Twice would be a lot.

2. Good luck with that

75% is quite generous, if you ask me, and I live in her state. I wonder if she supported 100% compensation for the damage caused by the wildfires in California the past few years?

13. We got nothing because that orange garbage was in office.

[Skittles]

4. repukes are such fucking hypocrites

anti-tax, always trashing the government but they come running with their hands out whenever THEY need something

6. Would Mitt Romney call her a taker?

[Freethinker65]

7. Why not just have HS age kids help clean up the mess at sub minimum wages?

That sounds like something Sarah would support.

8. Either AI wrote that article or a rube educated in Arkansas, maybe Sanders.

[Phoenix61]

9. No. That money needs to come from the state.

Maybe she needs to reconsider how they have been running their state.

10. Goodness gracious...

Hinkle* said Entergy has used special equipment to help restore the power, like excavators, bulldozers, and tracked vehicles.

"We have even had some of our linemen who have had to physically carry wire and power poles into those areas, and those power poles are very heavy, and they are not easy to manipulate," said Hinkle.

Hinkle said putting up power poles is a task that usually takes Entergy crews around two hours to complete, but because of the severity of the damage left behind, the task now takes the crews anywhere from 8 to 10 hours.
