In a Thursday letter to FEMA, Sen. Marco Rubio pressed the federal agency to clean hurricane debris off private roads in Northeast Florida.
The letter notes that “counties have not been able to clean up hurricane debris on private roads due to impractical guidelines that threaten to revoke the counties’ eligibility for federal reimbursement.”
The senator is “perplexed by the bureaucratic delay and unworkable guidelines required for debris collection on private roads,” adding that it is “neither efficient nor plausible to collect the signatures of tens of thousands of homeowners and renters for approval to pick up their hurricane debris.”
