But I think what happened last year with our ice storms is really instructive. Back a year ago in the Alpena area and nearby, there was a disaster declaration that was sent to fema. FEMA took a long time longer than usual in getting back to the state of Michigan and then only agreed to partially help the state. partially reimburse the state in a bipartisan way. Democrats and Republicans appealed to the White House and said, please, can we get the full reimbursement? It's very strange to not get the full reimbursement. (01:42–01:52)
