There is some good news to report in reference to Hurricane Laura. I received a text from Senator Mike Reese who stated that he had been notified that President Trump had approved a 100 percent pay for all our debris removal. This approval just saved DeQuincy and many other small cities in Louisiana hundreds of thousands of dollars that they would have to match for their part in debris removal. Debris removal costs millions of dollars so it would have cost DeQuincy a lot of money.
