Senate Majority Floor Leader Greg McCortney and House Speaker Charles McCall both visited Sulphur over the weekend to meet with people in their district, and help determine next steps from the legislative side.
“The governor has already drafted the emergency declaration which will open up the federal monies to flow into the state but the state will have to provide matches,” said Rep. McCall.
