Actually, let’s back up. That’s not quite accurate. California’s Democratic governor, its two Democratic senators, and its 39 Democratic members of Congress asked for .4 billion. With only one exception, California’s Republican delegation boycotted a request for disaster funding for their own state.” * * * * * *
