Four Colorado Republicans who voted against a $50 billion federal
relief bill to assist victims of Hurricane Sandy have asked the
president for emergency aid to help clean up their state after
devastating floods.
President Barack Obama signed an emergency declaration Sunday to help
Colorado recover from the floods that continue to ravage many parts of
the state.
Republican Reps. Mike Coffman, Cory Gardner, Doug Lamborn and Scott
Tipton joined the rest of their state’s delegation in asking Obama to
send emergency funds to Colorado, reported Think Progress.
Those same four Republicans voted against the Sandy relief package in January, and Lamborn voted against a smaller billion relief package less than two weeks later.
All three of Colorado’s Democratic representatives voted for each of the Sandy relief packages.
