George P. Bush Requests $750M In Federal Harvey Relief For Houston Area

Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush says he's asking for $750 million federal dollars to be sent to Harris County for Harvey relief. The county and Houston received none of the billion dollars in the latest round of federal Harvey relief funds. The Land Office received the relief funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and local leaders complained to Bush about being omitted from the latest list of recipients for relief money.
