Don't they become eligible for federal funds if they declare a county "disaster" and it gets approved by the feds?
That's what they always do with bad storms and such. If so, you can't blame the county for wanting their piece of the pie, I suppose.
If Obama denied funds for Texas under the disaster declaration for drought and all the wildfires scourging the state when Gov. Perry requested them, then I can imagine he's just grinning as any Dallas Co. request comes in.
But, then again, DFW area is a strong democrat nest...
Who knows?
