Feds Approve Aid To California Counties, More Still Needed

While federal funding is on its way to help Tuolumne County and others in California pay for damage related to storms in late January, more will be needed to cover the same for February. The assistance is the third request by Gov. Jerry Brown that the Trump administration has approved for more than $500 million in estimated damages throughout the state. That includes more than $6.8 million in Tuolumne County alone. “This will definitely help for sure,” said Deputy County Administrator Tracie Riggs, who serves as emergency services coordinator.
