Congress may break from its six-week recess and return to D.C. in the last days before an extremely close election to approve emergency spending for Hurricane Helene recovery and response.
President Joe Biden pledged Monday that the federal government would help people throughout the Southeast recover from the devastation of Hurricane Helene and its aftermath, and said he expects to ask Congress for emergency funding in the weeks ahead.
Tropical Storm Helene brought strong winds, power outages in parts of the county and much-needed rain (but also flash flooding) to Highland County Friday, Sept. 27, with rain expected to continue over the coming days.
