Has Billy Long Examined Flood Damage in Southwest Missouri?: Congressman is MIA During Southwest Missouri Floods

The rain that hit Southwest Missouri earlier this week has resulted in damaging floods. Here in my hometown of Ozark, the floods caused some minor damage including lifting the pavement off of McCracken Road, but in other parts of the Seventh District the flooding has wreaked far more havoc.



I guess what I find most ironic in all of this, is even though Billy Long is on a two week recess from Congress, I can't find a tweet or news story that shows that he has gone out and examined the floods and the damage it's caused. I just find it odd that a new politician that told voters that we could count on them hasn't been touring the flood areas in the district. The Congressman is MIA.

While I don't agree with federal aid and FEMA, most Ozarkers realize that Billy Long is their line of communication to the federal government when it comes to clean up and aid. It just seems strange that Long doesn't seem interested in the flood damage in Southwest Missouri. Long hasn't even tweeted about the flooding in his district.

Long once again appears out of touch and too ready to please special interest than his constituents. Remember after the National Auctioneer Association PAC donated $5000 to Long, they told how to jump and Long responded how high. If you want to see where Congressman Long's priorities are, just push play.
