Landrieu pledges push on farm aid
posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu met with approximately 50 local farmers and bankers following the grand opening of the Bryant O. Hammett Conference and Convention Center last week to discuss agricultural woes following Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Ike.

Landrieu told the gathering that U.S. Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla) blocked legislation she authored to provide $1.12 billion in immediate help to disaster-impacted American farmers.

Coburn put a procedural "hold" on a bipartisan bill to reform the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and streamline rebuilding efforts along the Gulf Coast.
