Pennsylvania rejects disaster aid request in cold emergency
The federal government denied Pennsylvania's disaster declaration plea, ending a program that would have provided over 150 million in loans and grants. Gov. Shapp said hundreds of communities still lack water, and 77,000 people remain without help. Without the declaration, reimbursements for 1.5 million in repairs are blocked, and new snow removal or water contracts will not be awarded. The state faces high unemployment and energy shortages as temperatures ease.
