Now, grant recipients such as school boards, local governments, and others will have an expedited approval process for response and recovery grant programs if their reimbursement total falls below $1 million. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Before the legislation, local “small projects” – those that receive under $1 million in reimbursement from FEMA – were stuck in reimbursement purgatory. For example, some Hurricane Ida reimbursements are still in the bureaucratic process despite landfall occurring over a year ago — PolitiTweet.org

A bill we pushed to help parishes, cities, towns, school districts, and other disaster-affected areas recover faster from a disaster was signed into law. We worked with local flood and hurricane victims and local and state officials to get this legislation to the finish line. https://t.co/o1nVW9mjTy — PolitiTweet.org

Gave an update to Patrick Yoes - National President of the @GLFOP - about our efforts to pass HR 82. WEP and GPO are DEFUNDING our police officers, teachers, firefighters, and other local and state public servants. We will not stop fighting to fix this penalty. https://t.co/sYQo4YtpRU — PolitiTweet.org

In case you missed it - yesterday we announced USDA is purchasing up to $25 million of Gulf shrimp. We've pushed for this deal to provide relief to this struggling industry. https://t.co/sEL2iNdG52 — PolitiTweet.org

This will help fight violent crime and expedite putting criminals in jail. Reports indicate there is still a backlog. https://t.co/o8759dJjnK — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier this year we secured funding to help clear the law enforcement DNA evidence processing backlog in the Capital Region. We asked DOJ to expedite transferring the funding to the EBRSO as soon as possible to prevent criminals from wreaking further havoc on the community. https://t.co/EXciIf9xQp — PolitiTweet.org

We sent this letter on June 17, 2022, asking for this purchase. https://t.co/JThmXxrMIh https://t.co/pcvFJSgnRQ — PolitiTweet.org

It will help provide relief to LA's shrimp industry which has faced several hardships in a row: Ida & other natural disasters, repeated openings of the Bonnet Carre Spillway, unfair trade practices, illegal chemicals, skyrocketing inflation, gas prices, & supply chain issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Sent this letter to the East Baton Rouge Metro Council before their meeting today. We have secured over $1 billion in ongoing flood protection investments to benefit our region. These are the solutions. https://t.co/ZXBFH5wWRn — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

We went to the site on Monday to see the progress firsthand. The delays are unacceptable. The project will give the Comite and Amite rivers MORE drainage capacity, which will help evacuate waters out of the Capital Region. @LesterDuhe https://t.co/RSUmoRxqpp — PolitiTweet.org

Pics from today: it was good to see some progress on the Comite Flood Control Project. The delays are unacceptable and we will keep our foot on the pedal until this project is complete. (1/3) https://t.co/Ti8DKbFaXO — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

This is what progress looks like. The Comite Flood Control Project was stalled for decades. We secured the full federal funding and broke the logjam. We will keep working toward the completion and get folks in the Capital Region the flood protection they deserve. https://t.co/0us2zn2qaK — PolitiTweet.org
