Iowa lawmakers on Capitol Hill are pushing for disaster relief reform for areas of the state affected by natural disasters. The reform bill, co-sponsored by Senators Tom Harkin and Chuck Grassley, would allow states to use disaster funding as a local match, share, or contribution for federal projects.

He says reform like this would take the added pressure of local governments trying to recover.
