Kentucky Governor to Ask Obama to Speed Up Federal Aid, Predicts 'A Long Haul' as State Thaws

CANEYVILLE, Ky. —  Kentucky's governor will ask President Barack Obama on Monday to speed up federal aid dollars as costs spiral past $45 million for emergency work to restore power, hand out water and food and clear debris across the state hit hard by an icy winter storm last week.

Obama signed federal emergency declarations last week for Kentucky, Arkansas and Missouri after ice and snow blamed for more than 40 deaths in nine states and for power outages that peaked at 1.3 million customers from the Southern Plains to the East Coast.

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear said he will ask the president to upgrade the federal response by declaring a major disaster, which would open the door for immediate financial assistance. The current disaster declaration provides for federal assistance with material, such as generators and bottled water being distributed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Suppose it has something to do with McCain carrying the commonwealth by 59%, and 0bama by 41%?

It works.

They are getting temps in the teens tonight and tomorrow night....local news tonight said that more than 20 had frozen to death ....IN THEIR HOMES.....because help didn't get to them soon enough.

I know from reports over the last week on our news that there have been several fires in homes from kerosene heaters and deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning.

The Kentucky Nat'l Guard is out helping in several communities.

Phone and data lines are still down all over the state.  More than a few businesses have contacted us and told us they were still running generators (had one call yesterday). It's been below freezing all day here; I can't imagine it has improved for them.
