President Barak Obama on Friday declared a major disaster for the Kodiak Island Borough in the wake of October storms. The declaration will allow Federal Emergency Management Agency funds to come to the borough to help pay for the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the flooding, mudslides, and rockslides. Kodiak Island Borough Manager Rick Gifford said the designation will allow a complete survey of the damage and costs of repairs, but that probably won’t be done now until the spring.

Another example of the government getting in areas they have no business. They are taking away peoples need and therefore taking away a communitys ability to pull together and fix problems. Now they just sit their like a lump with their hand out waiting for freebies. The government is the worst parent as they give whatever the child wants and ruins the child in the meantime. A bunch of spoiled brats, the new Americian dream.....
