McLean County board chair keeps pressing for federal storm relief

Original: McLean County Board chair continues push for federal storm relief after rejection

The McLean County Board chair is continuing to seek federal disaster assistance for storm damage after an initial rejection of the county's relief request. The push follows severe weather that hit the central Illinois county, with local officials arguing residents need aid for repairs. The renewed effort comes after federal or state authorities declined the county's earlier application, and the chair says the request will be resubmitted with further documentation.

Why now: Local officials are actively challenging a federal decision that denied storm relief funding to their county.
