Members of Mid – Missouri based Task Force One, the search and rescue team, thought they had a chance at getting a veto override to make sure the dollars they need would come in. But Gail Blomenkamp says the attempted override of the Governor’s veto didn’t happen …
About half of the task force’s funding was included in the budget, which will go for training and some equipment. Task Force One also gets about $1-million from FEMA every year.
The team has deployed to Maui after the killer wildfire and to Florida following the latest hurricane.
