A very happy Mother’s Day to all the special women in our lives, whether our birth mother, adopted mother, Godmother, a grandmother, a special aunt, neighbor, friend or ourselves.
Feel free to share something about that special woman or women in your life.
Sometimes efforts to cut spending have a price tag we don’t like. Virginia was recently denied FEMA relief by the Obama administration. Ouch! Here’s what went down. Governor McDonnell declared Virginia a disaster area so several countries ripped apart by tornadoes in April. Virginia saw more than 30 tornadoes last month.
According to the Richmond Times Dispatch:
The Obama administration has rejected Virginia’s request for federal disaster aid for rural counties hit last month by tornadoes that killed 10 and destroyed or damaged more than 1,000 homes. The state might appeal the decision.
In a letter Friday to Gov. Bob McDonnell, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said that it was turning down Virginia because it concluded that the state could handle the cleanup on its own.
