Tuesday night, I worked with Theo Keith, another KOMU reporter, to get the facts about Missouri's hope to gain funds to pay for the snowy clean-up. Missouri asked President Obama for $14 million. Illinois got $63 million for 43 of its counties.State Emergency Management said 52 of Missouri's 64 counties had record or near record snow fall amounts. It also said it had no clue if or when the President will give Missouri any blizzard help.
Reactions I got from people I chatted with since yesterday range from that's not fair to Illinois is Obama's home state so that makes sense to Missouri got hit just as hard; we need the money.
Take a look at my webstory on KOMU.com and my live shot from I-70, where for the first time ever, it was shut down statewide.
