lawmakers honored for keeping Emmitsburg FEMA unit intact
Four legislators were honored with appreciation plaques in the Hart Senate Office Building for helping to block a FEMA move that would have uprooted 30 to 40 Emmitsburg families by transferring the U S Fire Administration to Washington. Maryland Senators Sarbanes and Mikulski and Representatives Byron and Goodling led the effort, backed by local NFFE unions and fire officials, preserving the agency at Emmitsburg.
