Bush turns down tornado fund request
Why am I not surprised?

The Bush administration has denied Gov. Tom Vilsack's request for federal aid for Iowa's counties affected by severe weather in April.

Vilsack had asked for Johnson, Jones and Muscatine counties to receive Presidential Disaster Declarations after a series of tornadoes swept across Eastern Iowa, killing one and causing millions of dollars in damage. The declaration would have made federal money available for housing assistance and repairs.

Vilsack on Friday said he was "extremely disappointed" in Bush and would consider appealing the decision.

1. What if it would have been western Iowa?
It may have turned out differently.
