Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) and Judy Chu (D-Monterey Park) called on Gov. Jerry Brown today to seek federal disaster funds for San Gabriel Valley cities that sustained damage during the powerful wind storms late last year.
Their appeal comes on the heels of a letter sent Friday by Pasadena Mayor Bill Bogaard and leaders of six neighboring cities that called on Brown to authorize windstorm clean-up reimbursements under the state Disaster Assistance Act.
At around $40 million, estimates for wind storm damage and clean-up costs have fallen short of the $50-million mark required for disaster reimbursements.
