Queen Creek, Arizona — Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs and bipartisan state leaders criticized the federal government’s denial of FEMA disaster relief for Gila and Mohave counties in a July 16 announcement.
The governor’s office said the denied assistance would have supported communities dealing with disaster impacts. The announcement framed the decision as a matter affecting Arizona’s recovery resources and local governments.
Hobbs joined other Arizona leaders in calling for federal reconsideration. The governor’s statement is an attributed position, and the federal decision remains the subject of the dispute.
