It’s been more than 670 days of waiting for federal aid, noted Nic Arnzen, chair of the Altadena Town Council, an advisory board to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.
He spoke of broken promises regarding disaster aid as well as federal tariffs that have increased the cost of rebuilding and said Democrats’ resounding victory in the midterm elections demonstrates that Americans are “tired of the games” being played politically and “ready for real change.”
“We have been waiting too long for the help we deserve, and while I know we will not stop this fight until we get it, I do have renewed faith in how soon that might be,” he said.
