Read excerpt
Lawmakers from both parties looking to mitigate political meddling in disaster assistance hope bipartisan anger over how the last two administrations have overseen federal aid programs will carry their legislation over the finish line this year. A bill from Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) with several Democratic co-sponsors is a top contender for inclusion in the Senate’s version of the annual defense policy bill.
