Ken Borton, Michigan State Representative for 105th District | Michigan House Republicans
State Representative Ken Borton expressed his approval for President Donald Trump's announcement of federal disaster assistance for Northern Michigan. This aid is intended to help the region recover from severe ice storms that occurred earlier this year.
“Our entire Northern Michigan community is breathing a collective sigh of relief tonight after President Trump announced he was sending this funding our way,” said Borton, R-Gaylord. “We couldn’t be more grateful to the President and his team for delivering on relief dollars we so desperately need. Our communities banded together and got through the storms last winter, but just by the skin of our teeth. These federal dollars will finally take us from ‘just getting by’ to ‘getting back to normal.’”
Earlier this year, a bipartisan $100 million disaster relief proposal passed in the House with near-unanimous support but has since stalled in the Senate Appropriations Committee.
